This  is a  3 DVD set from the  FAC Assn 2006 reunion which includes a great DVD of the entire Dedication of the  FAC Memorial. It  includes all the talks from the  FAC symposium, the  USAF Band concert, some  "War Stories" and the  actual construction of the  Memorial. Nicely cased.

The Rescue of Bat 21 by Darrel Whitcomb, Military Aviator and Decorated SEA veteran. The author not only has "researched" the story, but was there "in it". This is the BEST book on the  BAT 21 SAR ... period. This hugely complicated SAR took place amid the massive North Vietnamese invasion of the South , when BAT 21 an unarmed EB-66, was shot down by a SA-2, commencing a  SAR that was fully interwoven with the massive land battle going on below it. Hard bound. Inscribed by the  author.

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

Steel Tiger is set  in 1967 and  is the second  in the  series and  follows the tours  of fighter pilots, FACs, SOG warriors, Presidential advisors, and  in this  book, even a Soviet Fighter  pilot.

You will, in all probability see yourself  in his  books because  his characters  are not figments of his  imagination...there were  his Buds and  his enemies.

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!

Bill Sleigh was a "Rustic" FAC  flying  out of Bien Hoa in the  "Secret" war in Cambodia in his OV-10A Bronco. This a truthful rendering of that years tour away from "the land of the  Big BX". This is how it really was...the daily grind...the occasional AWESOME misson. Hardbound.
