It's late summer 1967 at DaNang Air Force Base in South Vietnam.
The 366th Tactical Fighter Wing has big problems. They just lost a
squadron of F-4Cs to a rocket attack when a chain reaction from the
initial explosion blows a row of the best fighters on earth. This
event triggers headquarters to order changes in DaNang's missions
which caused the wing to suffer the greatest losses of any Air
Force fighter wing in the war.
Into this teaming, ambitious, tropical cauldron comes the
author, who, as a backseat pilot, would rather be anywhere
else.
After four years at the brand new Air Force Academy, which he
barely survives, he's seriously questioning if his military
conditioning will get him through; for the tour in Vietnam will
prove to be a nightmare in what may be the last great conventional
air war in history. From Khe Sahn to the Tet Offensive, to strange
bombing runs, to drunken soul searching, to crashes no one should
have survived, to coming close to court-martial, to losing close
friends, Oliver gives his take on the devastating dualities of air
attack and needless war.
