Dougs Book Recommendation.
That's just the kind of recommendation I look for. I just ordered it. Doug recommended a book about a month or so ago that he said he couldn't put down and was wondering if anybody else has read it. It was "Bury Us Upside Down", the accounts of the USAF "Misty's" forward air controllers over the Ho Chi Minh Trail. Doug was right, you can't put it down. And one of the most surprising parts was in finding out that one of the Misty pilot /POW's in the book grew up about five miles from me. My respect gets deeper and deeper for the military pilots who protect our freedom.
One I love and didn't see is My Secret War by Richard S. Drury. He choose the Skyraider
over jets and this book is his story of flying the A-1 over Vietnam. Alone at night dodging thunderstorms over the Trail. A great read.
