About this title

Synopsis

For fifty years the Air Commandos and Special Operators have fought for freedom against dictators, communist aggression and terrorists.
In this book the reader will find first hand accounts from the glider pilots who landed deep behind Japanese lines in 1944 and from gun ship crews who flew over the dark jungle of Laos in 1968, hunting for North Vietnamese trucks sneaking down the Ho Chi Minh trail. Read the story of the raid to free the American prisoners of war from Son Tay, deep inside North Vietnam in 1970; share the despair of the air crews at Desert One in 1980 as the mission to rescue the hostages held in the US Embassy in Iran ended amongst the maelstrom of burning aircraft and exploding ammunition. To bring the story fully up to date the author writes about the Gulf War and Special Operations today.
