This is a chronological account in memoir form of a USAF officer/fighter pilot's career. It covers the military side (training, aircraft flown, operational and staff assignment, base locations and positions held, career path and promotions, etc.) and the family side (family separations, frequent uprooting of children to new schools and communities, wife's worry about the dangers of flying jet fighters, and more) of an Air Force career during the Cold War and the Vietnam War. The book does not address policy, strategy, doctrine and political considerations (except briefly regarding the Vietnam War). It is instead a lighter read about how one man answered his Country's call to duty and enjoyed flying high performance fighter aircraft and the opportunity to serve in various countries and from many different bases. It is a look back at a time in the Air Force when the mission was clear, and the enemy and his capabilities were well known. It was a time when morale always seemed to be high. Considering the situation then, one can almost be nostalgic for the Cold War as compared for example with the war on terrorism. It was a time when military life was at times hard on families, but no where near as tough as currently (2014). All told this is a story about a successful Air Force career that was most enjoyable and personally rewarding.

"When the Eagle Soared" is a memoir by one of my former commanders, a man I used to fly F-15s with at an air base in the Netherlands. I read it in short segments over the course of the summer, primarily to learn what it was like to become an Air Force fighter pilot in the 1950s & 60s, when they did things differently from what I experienced in the 70s. I also took notes for the writing of my own memoir, a project I work on between distractions.The Don Delauter I remember is a good man, and it was fun to read what he had to say about a long and fulfilling Air Force career. His memoir will be of primary interest to fellow Air Force officers who served with him, were stationed with him, or who flew with him, which is the case with me.
"When the Eagle Soared" is a self-published book, which shows in the occasional typo or eccentrically-spelled word, but its conversational tone carries you along, and Delauter has a gift for explaining technical things to a general audience. I learned from it and enjoyed reading it ... and I'm looking forward to the promised memoirs a few other men I served with, just as I hope they're looking forward to mine.

When the Eagle Soared Mr Donald R Delauter 9781503179776 Books Reviews
The memoir of When The Eagle Soared by Donald Delauter is a compelling story of the integrated career and life experiences of a dedicated United States Air Force officer. His detailed description of training, comraderie, combat experiences and devotion to family could not be more explicit and colorful than revelations of a mind imprinted or a diary opened..- Robert Kroll
Enjoyed very much..very interesting reading
