Revue de Presse:
Praise for Top Gun Memos

Top Gun's journey from a magazine article to a film is epic. Stars, F-14s, soundtrack and "need for speed" movie lines made Top Gun a box-office blockbuster, but the art and dazzling moviemaking behind it is a powerful tour-de-force for storytelling.
- Michael Sean Comerford, author of American OZ: An Astonishing Year Inside Traveling Carnivals at State Fairs & Festivals.

Jordan has worked a writing miracle ... she has somehow made a detailed story of how a movie was made into a tale as captivating as the movie itself. Top Gun Memos is an addictive read that includes lots of famous names for movie lovers.
- David Wallace, author of the national bestseller Lost Hollywood, five other books about the film, and a memoir, I Called Him Uncle Harry.

Fans of Top Gun will be in heaven learning all about it with this book. Jordan offers a complete walk-through of the making of a film that became an instant classic. Her writing provides detail of every day's work in a way that provides an education to the layperson without talking down to the reader. A fascinating read.
- Matt Hurwitz, Entertainment Journalist.

Top Gun Memos does more than tell the story of the popular Top Gun movie, it explains why we're still talking about it today. It also breaks news, which is unusual for a thirty-five year old movie, but not surprising given Jordan's background as an investigative journalist. Written in an engaging style, it is filled with fresh stories and insights into filmmaking behind the scenes.
- Carolyn Johnston, professor of History and American Studies at Eckerd College, St. Petersburg, Fla., and the author of five books.
