Primary Wisdom (Hardcover) (ISBN-13: 9781977248152)

Navy Ensign Tom Rudd wants to be a good pilot, a solid officer, an upstanding citizen, and a quality companion to a lovely but challenging woman.

But we don't always get what we want.

Rudd is in the midst of Navy flight training and burdened with unfavorable circumstances.

Still, we usually get what we need.

With the help of his friends, fellow student pilots, and his own developing tenacity and character, Rudd endures...and even sometimes succeeds.

Author Thomas Kolp wrote the novel Primary Wisdom based on his own experiences as a student Navy pilot and, later, a qualified instructor pilot in a sister squadron. Regardless of the reader's specific life experiences, anyone will relate to Rudd's desire to dream, overcome adversity, and achieve.
