Excellent book. Great "memoir" of aviators in the "background" during the Vietnam conflict. Definately a must read.
I never read a book twice. This one was an exception. It's that good!

Flying in Viet Nam was more than Thuds, Buffs and Spads. There was a back war flying different types not so glamorous as the aforementioned. This book covers these unsung heroes and their aircraft and the tedium of their lives in country. A great read.
