It's that kinda thing that makes that book so interesting...it's
funny as hell..... and believable...


It's from the yet-to-be-released new book, coming out this fall. Don't
even have a title yet. I've proposed "Palace Cobra: Fascination With a
War" while the publisher wants, "Phantom Flights, Bangkok Nights: A
Combat Pilot's Return to Vietnam". (Palace Cobra was the name of the
USAF personnel policy on no involuntary second tours for aircrews in
Vietnam.)


How 'bout "G-Suits and Parachutes"?

I'm fortunate to have had some contributions for the book from a
number of ex-cons, some of the FOGs and some of the FNGs. (That's "old
guys" and "new guys"--those incarcerated from the early days of
Rolling Thunder and those short-term POWs shot down during
Linebacker.)


I'm saving my Nickles & Dimes - I can hardly wait.
