This is a book I read a couple months back. It's an amazing account of a pilot's personal experience of flying over the Ho Chi Minh trail. The book starts off with an interesting description of his arrival to his new assignment. The pilot believed his first mission was nothing more then just flying support and dropping flares for allies on the ground, but he soon found out he was wrong. The following accounts of other missions proved his assignment was anything but ordinary.
What made this book so interesting to read was the fact that it was an actual acount of a pilot during the vietnam war who was flying and fighting a secret war over Laos. The books events were well described with clever analogies throughout. I would recommend this book to anyone interested in reading things on avaition.
