The experience of war changes a warrior forever. It fractures the lens through which one once viewed the world - shattering the familiar into fragments of chaos and confusion, forever clouding the perception of reality.
Written by a Vietnam Veteran who flew over 200 combat missions, these pages are not to glorify the atrocities of war, nor cast blame upon any combatant. They do not hold heroes or villains, but focus on the choices made in moments of terror, born from instinct, grief, rage... and love.

"This explosive saga grabs you by the neck and drags you into his O1-G Birddog... Be ready to land in a cold sweat You cannot put it down " - Douglas Scherer, 1st Lieutenant, Catkiller 38 Phu Bai, Vietnam (1971)
