On March 3, 1969 the United States Navy established an elite school for the top one percent of its pilots. It's purpose was to teach the lost art of aerial combat and to insure that the handful of of men, and later women, who graduated were the best fighter pilots in the world.

They succeeded.

Today, the Navy calls it Fighter Weapons School.

The flyers call it:

Top Gun.

This is their story.
