Got it yesterday and it looks like a great read(loved the part about the
BOQ).
Any other books you can recommend about the air war in VN, other than
the
excellent suggestions at the beginning of your book?


The following are paperbacks I have - don't know availability.

"Alpha Strike Vietnam" by Jeffrey L. Levinson



If this ("Alpha Strike Vietnam") is the same book by the same title I read
several years ago, then I can't recommend it. I thought the first 1/3 was
good, but after that it sounded like a lot of whining. The tone ended up
sounding like: "We're carrier pilots and we're not appreciated enough".
Sorry, but after about the first 1/3 it really got irritating.

While not about Naval Aviators, a book I really did enjoy was "Thud Ridge"
by Jack Broughton.

Just my 2 cents.
