Review Quotes:

"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 winner! This is one of the finest small unit histories to come out of Vietnam or any other war [and] a real contribution to the history of Naval aviation."--John F. Guilmartin, Jr., author of A Very Short War: The Mayaguez and the Battle of Koh Tang
