Before unmanned combat drones, there was the Grumman OV-1C Mohawk,
a twin-engine turboprop fixed-wing reconnaissance aircraft loaded
with state-of-the-art target detection systems. Crewed by a pilot
and observer, it flew at treetop level by day, taking panoramic
photographs. By night it scanned the landscape from 800 feet with
side-looking airborne radar (SLAR) and infrared. This lively,
detailed memoir recounts the author's 1968-1969 tour with the 1st
Cavalry Division in Vietnam, serving as a technical observer (T.O.)
aboard an unarmed Mohawk, searching for elusive enemy forces near
the DMZ and along the Laotian and Cambodian borders, dodging
mountains in the dark and avoiding anti-aircraft fire.
