There I Wuz refers to being in flight somewhere in the sky or perhaps in an otherwise routine situation when something unforeseen happened. It was the way aviators started their most gripping stories.
Flight surgeons are privy to many such stories and Doc White relates the scary situations and tales of funny, tragic and intriguing events from inside naval aviation. He highlights what it was like to live and work on an aircraft carrier during the Viet Nam conflict and the cold war.
He writes from the perspective of a Navy Flight Surgeon, a physician and a medical officer. The narrative describes all the complexities of flight operations, how everything functions and coordinates …… and the psychology of those who make it happen.
Join the author as he looks back at an incredible life in the Navy filled with medical tales, aviation adventures, and highs and lows. The narrative is personal, entertaining and interesting on many levels.
Great read, unusual in that Navy Flight Surgeons seldom comment on life on the carriers. Superbly written … another perspective of Navy Life at sea and a doctor’s wonderful memoirs.
- Warm Regards, Captain Dan A. Pedersen (USN, Retired), Founder of the TOPGUN Navy Fighter Weapons School in 1969 and Skipper of USS Ranger (CV-61) in 1982.
These recollections are familiar to me at different times and places…and are a treasured memory. Readers will find this book most interesting while greatly admiring the dedication, expertise and service of a Flight Surgeon.
- Mike Bristow, Naval Aviator, Experienced A-7 Pilot with over 200 Carrier Landings.
…. thoroughly enjoyed reading…I could relate to a number of the stories… other aviators will be struck with memories.

There I Wuz paints a candid picture of a flight surgeon’s naval career and experiences on an aircraft carrier. This insider provides fascinating stories of life in a carrier city and insights as to what makes Top Gun pilots tick. Throughout, the author’s humor is guaranteed to bring a smile to your face.
