Publisher's Synopsis
The Vietnam war was a war the US didn't win but one in which the US armed forces performed with honor, courage, dedication, and capability. the numbers, the dates, and the key facts of the US Air Force experience in that war still have value
Most of America experienced the Vietnam War only in the form that was delivered in the evening news. The actual fighting and sacrifices in that far-off jungle were borne, as is still true to this day, by a minuscule fraction of the population and their families. There are plenty of history books and scholars that break the war down into miniature, bite-sized chunks of history, politics, science, and statistics. This book, however, isn't about accounting for the war. It is about the fighter pilots who fought that war in the air.
