Dan "Two Dogs" Hampton Real Life Top Gun Talks with Gentry About His New Book 'Valor'

On today's podcast Gentry talks with author and retired Air Force Lieutenant colonel pilot Dan "Two Dogs" Hampton. The author has recently come out with a new book 'Valor: The Astonishing World War II Saga of One Man's Defiance and Indomitable Spirit' which is about a world war two P.O.W. who withstood the unimaginable. Hampton himself has pushed through some inconceivable feats as he's flown 151 combat missions and has logged 726 career combat hours. And he's additionally written nine different books since 2012 while also achieving the New York Times best seller status. Gentry picks Dan's brain about the recent Ukraine conflict with Russia and if he feels modern day war has changed since his time in combat. The two also talk about what the greatest threat to the American people is and whether it is an external or internal threat. The Air force Vet then describes the F-35 fighter jet which he states is the most advanced of its kind and should leave other countries shaking in their boots. Gentry asks about politics, war, top gun, and the presidency all on today's rendition of Backstage Pass with Gentry Thomas. Make sure to subscribe and follow for the latest episodes.
