A Cueball in Cloud Country is a memoir by Major Harold "Cueball" Cusick, chronicling his extensive career as a U.S. Air Force pilot and instructor. Throughout his service, Cusick accumulated approximately 4,500 flight hours across 23 different aircraft types, ranging from Piper Cubs to jet fighters, before retiring as a Command Pilot. In this book, he pays tribute to the countless military pilot flight instructors who played a pivotal role in shaping renowned aviators such as John Magee, Richard Bong, and Bud Day. Cusick emphasizes that behind every celebrated pilot, there was a dedicated instructor who transformed novices into skilled aviators with "the right stuff."
