Step inside the hardened aircraft shelters of Hahn Air Base and witness life on the front lines of the Cold War in The Fightin’ Tenth.In a personal and often humorous voice, former US Air Force officer Michael Makatura takes you behind the wire of one of NATO’s most elite tactical fighter squadrons—the 10th Tactical Fighter Squadron—during the tense final years of the Cold War and into Operation Desert Storm. From the heart of West Germany to the skies above Iraq, this gripping memoir captures what it means to stand ready for war at a moment’s notice, fly the iconic F-16 Viper, and live among warriors with a shared sense of purpose and brotherhood.Part history, part military life, part personal transformation, Makatura’s story is filled with grit, fighter-pilot mockery, and raw honesty. Whether it’s enduring the mental gauntlet of Officer Training School, landing in Europe as a wide-eyed second lieutenant, or watching seasoned pilots prep for combat in the Middle East, The Fightin’ Tenth brings to life the unique culture, mission, and mindset of an American fighter squadron in an unforgettable era.©2026 Michael Makatura (P)2026 Michael Makatura Armed Forces Military Military & War
