Winged Brothers

Naval Aviation as Lived by Ernest and Macon Snowden

Winged Brothers recounts the service exploits of two brothers through more than forty years of naval aviation history in both peace and war. They were deeply committed to each other and to advancing their chosen profession, but due to the vast difference in their ages and the fourteen years between their respective academy graduations, they experienced carrier aviation from very different perspectives.
The older brother entered naval aviation in an era of open-cockpit biplanes when the navy's operations from aircraft carriers were still taking form, when Fleet Problems were still the primary means of determining aviation's warfighting utility and proving its merits to the fleet. He would build on those early lessons to assume a pivotal role in the war with Japan, leading first a squadron, then an air group to one of the most distinguished combat records of the Second World War. As his career arced to its wartime zenith, then began a slow decline after the war, the career of the younger brother began its ascendency at a time of post-war retrenchment and self-examination for naval aviation.
The younger brother's story takes the reader through the transition from props to jets, inside the inter-service disputes at the start of the atomic age, from straight to angled flight decks, through the perils of flight testing high performance aircraft, and eventually to supersonic combat over the humid landscape of Vietnam. The younger brother returned from Vietnam to step into a contentious struggle inside the Washington beltway over the future of the Navy's next fighter, becoming a key player in wresting a brilliant Navy solution that would become the F-14 Tomcat.
For the entirety of their time in uniform, the one constant was a close fraternal bond that saw the older brother as mentor and the younger brother as devoted admirer and prot�g�, only to see those roles recede as the younger brother's achievements transcended those of the older brother. Through personal letters, official reports, first-hand accounts, and first-person interviews, their symbiotic relationship is revealed to the reader. Their motivations to follow long and committed service in naval aviation are explored and laid bare: Ernie was propelled by equal parts patriotism, longing for risk and adventure, and yearning to leave the family farm; Mac was driven by equal parts desire to serve, love of flying, and desire to emulate his older brother whom he lionized as father figure and role model.
