The Man Who Rode the Thunder by William H. Rankin is a gripping autobiographical account of Lieutenant Colonel William Rankin's harrowing experience as the only person to survive a fall through a thunderstorm in a jet aircraft. In 1959, Rankin ejected from his malfunctioning F-8 Crusader at high altitude and descended through a severe thunderstorm, enduring extreme turbulence, lightning strikes, and intense cold. His story recounts the physical and psychological challenges he faced during his descent, as well as the incredible survival against overwhelming odds. Rankin's narrative is a testament to human resilience and the awe-inspiring power of nature encountered at its most extreme, making it a significant piece of aviation history.
