ON THE BACK COVER
GRIT. COURAGE. TENACITY. IT TOOK A LOT TO SURVIVE THE VIETNAM WAR.
These stories come from real Vietnam airmen and their support crews, recounting actual incidents that are sometimes funny, sometimes tense, and sometimes heartrendingly tragic. Part of the fabric of one of the most controversial conflicts in American military history, these are experiences many who came and fought never signed up for.
From pulse-pounding combat missions to teary-eyed reflections at the funerals of heroes lost, these accounts of war and its impacts are as real as it gets.
Col. Dennis M. (Mike) Ridnouer (USAF Retired) was commissioned into the US Air Force through the ROTC program after his graduation from the University of Iowa. After his military service, Ridnouer worked in aerospace and then consulted for the defense industry.
