Quick Overview

Mark Berent walked (drove  actually)  into my  life  when he  was Papa Wolf, the  Air  Attache  at Phnom Penh. He and  fellow  Rustic  FAC Rick Scaling chased  my  burning  OV-10 down the  runway at Papa Papa in Mark's staff  car!


He  had  been a  Hun  driver  in  SVN, the  head Wolf FAC at Ubon (thus  the  nom de  guerre  of  Papa Wolf), and finished  his  third  tour  in  Phnom Penh as   assistant Air  Attache, and then as  Air  Attache. A bit  of  trivia..has there  ever been a final approving  authority in SEA other  than Blue  Chip? YES...it was  Mark Berent during the  period when Blue  Chip was  in transit from Saigon to NKP. He  was  quite  literally  the MAN! 


Mark  has  written  a series of  five historical novels set  it  SEA stretching from 1965 to 1973. The  are  largely  out  of print but he has  been kind  enough to offer the  last  two titles he has left for sale through The  Yankee  Air  Pirate. All books  are First Edition hardbound with dust covers which are also  in excellent condition. All books  have  been inscribed  by Papa Wolf...


Cheers and  Check 6

Storm Flight is  the  fifth and  last (so far!) in the  series . It covers  the period from 1970 through 1973. It starts with the  Son Tay Raid and  ends with the 11 days of Christmas. As  with all of his book, this  one reads at a  ferocious  pace and is historically correct to the  smallest  detail. As  noted on the other  listing  for  Steel Tiger you may find yourself in this book!
