Trade Review
One of the finest cockpit views of the air war over Vietnam ever written. Reardon tells us the whole story of the war - from the missions flown and bombs dropped to the plight of the enlisted bomb handler and the story of the wives left behind. Her sensitivity for detail and context makes this book soar far above your typical squadron history or pilot memoir." - John Sherwood, author of Afterburner: Naval Aviators and the Vietnam War

"A remarkable achievement. This engaging book will be of significant interest to anyone interested in the Vietnam air war." —Proceedings, U.S. Naval Institute
