Firefly: A Skyraider’s Story About America’s Secret War Over Laos by Richard E. Diller
Requirements: .ePUB reader, 1.9mb
Overview: It is 1969 and Dick Diller is on his way to flying warplanes in the Vietnam conflict. He is commissioned to fly A-1 Skyraiders in sometimes harrowing nighttime missions over Laos–surviving not only the danger of the missions he flew, but also the bureaucracy of the air force, from fitness testing to additional duties assigned, to attacking impossible-to-find targets in the dead of night–with minimal fuel supplies.At once entertaining and riveting, as well as thought-provoking, “Firefly” is the story of one man’s journey in a world at war, and a day-to-day description of the fighting force that was flying A-1 Skyraiders in combat. “Firefly” contains actual transcriptions of dialogue of pilots locating a target and making a strike in northern Laos.”Firefly” is the only book to have been written about the night mission over Laos during the Vietnam conflict, and so fills a niche in the literature of the era.
