Don Aronow books …
 
I just read “Blue Thunder” - the author made a pretty convincing argument about who he was involved with and who took him out - no idea if any of that is true or just one authors opinion. Are there other good books on Don Aronow ? I saw his son wrote one - “ the King of Thunderboat Row” and I think there’s another one called “Speed Kills” ?

I tried a search but didn’t get much info. Thanks.

I read both Speed Kills and King of Thunderboat Row. I never read Blue Thunder. Speed Kills is about his life but also about the theories on who killed him. King of Thunderboat Row is about his boat building and companies he owned. Doesn’t talk at all about his murder.

The King of Thunderboat Row is 400.00 on Amazon. Just FYI.

I guess its good to see that Don's stuff is still demanding Cigarette prices. I dreamed of having a 38 Top Gun Hawk Edition when I was a kid.

I just watched this - totally contradicts the “Blue Thunder” book - lol. In any case, it’s quite the story. Interestingly, a bunch of the guys mentioned in the book are interviewed in the video - it’s just the end conclusion was very different.
