Several teeth-gritting tales, including a climax where they reach Mach 3.5 while in a climb, being chased by missiles over Libya.

Alright - those are some great stories. I thought I might buy the book - until I saw that it was over $400

I find that incredibly hard to read. Genius idea though.

Here is a new twist (to me anyway) on the use of variable data.
I know the site is Spanish, but it is very interesting to see.

1. GO TO THE FOLLOWING SITE:
http://www.tatuagemdaboa.com.br/

2. TYPE YOUR FIRST NAME ON THE 1st LINE

3. TYPE YOUR LAST NAME ON THE 2nd LINE

(SKIP your e-mail address.)

4. Click on 'Vizualizar' and watch what happens ... & don't ask me how they do that!
