I am not there, never have been or ever will be, but the fruitless search may be more gratifying then the "content" you might otherwise be exposed to.

Over the Beach is a nice read Nothing to deep or detailed, but enjoyable.

Not the air war but Matterhorn is an outstanding novel. It's fiction but I find myself reading it at least once a year. I highly recommend it.

Wags October 2017 "the investment vs. generated revenue has been excellent for the World War II aircraft. In fact, the P-51D Mustang has twice the cost effectiveness of the A-10C Warthog."

Just to resurrect this old thread...

I've just finished Flying Black Ponies, a history of VAL-4, Navy light attack squadron flying ov10 Broncos in the Mekong delta.

In it's short 3 year existence the ponies were particularly effective and the book is full of details and anecdotes rather than one man's story. What the unit did as the US began to withdraw is particularly well told and paints a picture of the ARVN at odds with usual perceptions.

Highly recommended.
