Elite: The Chosen Few

The life of an Aviation Cadet was one of extremes. As lowerclassmen in Preflight (the first phase), they were the lowest scum on earth. After seven weeks of hazing, torture, eating square meals, inspections, walking punishment tours, humiliation, constant failure, having to address inanimate objects as their superior, marching, exercises, silly games, too little time and too much to do—they became convinced that they were indeed the lowest, most worthless creation on the planet. Just as they were ready to resign themselves to that state, they became upperclassmen—the sharpest, most perfect and most invaluable of all terrestrial beings, and soon to be the Free World’s greatest hope for survival. This is the story of one group of cadets in the 1950s.Bailey, Bruce is the author of 'Elite: The Chosen Few', published 2007 under ISBN 9781424176472 and ISBN 1424176476.
