Another Aviation Movie!!!
We’re going to have to schedule another movie night, because on November 23, another EPIC aviation movie is being released. What movie is that you ask?? Devotion. Before I tell you about the movie, let me first tell you about the book.
Have you ever pocket dialed someone? Well, I’m a special kind of person; instead of pocket dialing someone I pocket purchased this book on Audible. BEST MISTAKE EVER. Since I already had the book and it was aviation related I figured meh, why not listen to it? Let me tell you ladies and gentlemen, it was WELL worth my time, and it’s well worth YOUR time.
This book is the amazing story of Jesse Brown, an incredible man who with grace and dignity overcame enormous obstacles to achieve his dream of flying. Jesse Brown was also the first African American aviator to complete the Navy’s Basic Flight Instruction school. Though racism (and overcoming it) is prevalent in this story, there’s so much more to this book. It’s also the horrific story of war, how aviation changes the battlefield, and the bonds built between warriors. It’s a story about earning respect, and an amazing friendship forged in trying times. This book will take you through series of emotional loops, spins, and rolls from joy to anger, pride, love and sorrow. Simply put, Devotion is, “An epic story of heroism, brotherhood, and sacrifice” and I highly recommend you read this book. This incredible story has now been made into a movie!!!
Fellow aviatrices and aviators, tighten your seatbelts because you’re in for a ride. If you liked Top Gun and Maverick this story is going to blow you away, because it’s not fiction. Devotion is the real life version of Top Gun and Maverick only with more drama, because it’s real.
Here’s a link to the Devotion Trailer….
On a personal note - I just LOVE the Corsair….
