"John Alger" wrote in message om... (Pechs1) wrote in message ... 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. |
