The Intruders Stephen Coonts

Fighter pilot Jake Grafton is adrift following combat in Vietnam. With no place in the States to call home, Grafton sticks to what he knows best: taking on the worlds most treacherous skies from the cockpit of a Grumman A-6 Intruder. Now, stationed in the South Pacific on the U. S. S. Columbia, Grafton must teach the Marines aboard the art of flying from an aircraft carrier — a mission that, thanks to the unruly Marine Captain Le Beau, is as joyless as it is dangerous. But when an unexpected enemy appears from above, Grafton and Le Beau must put aside their differences and work together to save the lives of all onboard.
