Bob Stanford Tuck (Fly For Your Life)

[danjama]

Morning all.

I'm approaching the end of the book 'Fly For Your Life' the story of Stanford. For those who have read and possibly researched it, I would like to know of any areas that are exaggerated or have been doubted/proven incorrect, if any. The reason I ask is because I was simply astonished by some of the events in his story - he tells of shooting a drowning downed airman for example.

So, how accurate/truthful is this book? Any information is appreciated.

Could I request to have this moved back to the aviation forum, for more traffic, at least temporarily?

Although reading the book prompted the thread, I am interested in hearing actual details about Bob Tuck and his exploits.
