Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - Pins of Peril is the raw, unforgettable memoir of a USAF C-17 pilot who mapped his entire life by the moments that almost killed him. From the junkyards of South Boston, where his grandmother taught him that one man's trash is another man's treasure to the cockpits of combat missions over Afghanistan, Angelo Ford kept a simple ritual: every time he faced real danger, he pushed a RED PIN into a world map. Childhood near-drownings under thin ice, teenage car wrecks that should have ended him, a solo flight gone wrong, sandstorms that swallowed runways, secret riverbed landings in enemy territory, and one catastrophic reaction to a rushed smallpox vaccine that cost him everything he'd sworn his life to defend. This is not a story of flawless heroism. It's the honest account of a man who lived by the motto 'Jump, asshole' and learned, sometimes the hard way to 'watch his noggin.' Through every pin of peril, Ford discovers the same three pillars that kept him alive: resilience, determination, and the quiet wisdom his grandmother gave him when the world offered nothing else. Equal parts gripping cockpit drama, coming-of-age tale, and unflinching look at what happens when the military you love cuts you loose, Pins of Peril is a testament to the fact that the wise never run out of luck. they simply fill their second bag with lessons learned the hard way. Because sometimes the deepest cuts aren't the ones that leave scars on your body.>A story of risk, redemption, and the pins that mark a life fully lived.…
