Socrates N' Suits

About the Book

Book III of the SOCRATES ‘N SUITS triad is the conclusion of the developing friendship between one of the world’s most eminent philosophers and Jack “Suitcase” (Suits) Simpson, fi ghter pilot, experimental pilot, and business man of 40 years. BOOK I & II details when they met and how Socrates’ 2500 years of intellectual experience guided Jack through combat and four years of testing two of the USA’s fastest fi ghters. Jack started his business as a $300 a month janitor. Socrates guided him through the myriad of stumbling blocks and recoveries until one day he said, “Socs, after 77 years, it looks like I’m an overnight success.”
