100 Missions North

A Fighter Pilot's Story of the Vietnam War

About this book

A harrowing personal account of the extraordinary dangerous missions the author and his comrades flew over North Vietnam in 1966-1967. At that time, American airmen were faced with unprecedented defenses and the highest pilot loss rate (exceeding 25%) since the early days of the US strategic bombing of Europe during World War II. This thrilling book tells what it was like to muster the courage to climb into the cockpit day after day as you watched your comrades fall one by one.and how the pilots fought back.
