Summary
What's Your Call Sign explores the entertaining tradition of how U.S. Navy and Marine Corps aviators receive their call signs—the colorful nicknames they use throughout their flying careers. Author Ben Taggart, a former naval aviator himself, shares humorous real-life stories behind these nicknames, revealing how they're often earned through embarrassing moments, memorable mistakes, or quirky personality traits. The book offers readers an insider's look at naval aviation culture, explaining why call signs are rarely self-chosen and often commemorate the pilot's most awkward or unforgettable experiences in the cockpit or squadron ready room.
