About This Item
New York, NY, U.S.A.: St. Martin's Press, 1990. Mass Market Paperback. Near Fine. 12mo - over 6¾" - 7¾" tall. Collectible first edition. Airmen in Vietnam weren't above the hell of war-but they went beyond the call of duty. It was America's longest, most withering war, as hellish in the air as it was on the ground. But little has been told of the airmen who fought, who died, who lived and dared to remember.until now. Three dozen airmen tell their secret stories of the air war in Vietnam the only way it ought to be told: in their own words. In this brutally accurate picture of brave men fighting a tragic war-a portrait that touches upon every branch of the armed forces-aviation journalist Philip D. Chinnery finally honors the heroes who have been nearly forgotten. 300 pages. Some rubbing on top & bottom & edges of spine and some places on outside edges. Spine is creased. Bottom front corner of spine has a 1/8" tear (not into the spine just the outside coating). Two 1/2" light creases on rear cover top edge..
