A decorated Air Force pilot and Vietnam veteran tells the previously secret story of the most controversial air rescue of the Vietnam War. The unorthodox operation involved personnel from all services, claimed the lives of 11 soldiers and airmen, destroyed or damaged several aircraft, and put hundreds of personnel at risk. Draws on recently unclassified records, first-time interviews with participants, and the author's direct experience with similar rescues. Includes b&w photos and maps, many previously unpublished. Annotation c. by Book News, Inc., Portland, Or.
