Summary: Simply captivating
Review: I agree with the other reviewer, this book and "A Lonely Kind of War" are two of my alltime favorites. Yarborough really makes you feel like you're in the middle of the action, I found myself unable to put this book down !

Summary: Outstanding account of the Secret Wars in Laos
Review: This book is a must read for anyone interested in the black operations of special forces and the dedicated pilots who supported them. The stories of heroism and sacrifice in this book need to be heard. The author has a gift for making the reader feel they are in the cockpit experiencing the challenge and excitement of life and death combat. This is a keeper.

Summary: A fascinating look at the secret war in Southeast Asia
Review: This would have been the best book I have read on the air war in Vietnam if I had not disovered "A Lonely Kind of War" by Marshall Harrison. Both books are written by former Foward Air Controllers that served in Southeast Asia (more than Vietnam).Da Nang Diary is a fascinating read about the lives of the pilots and crew that operated from Thailand and flew into Laos and Cambodia to support US and South Vietnamese soldiers. Tom Yarborough manages to do a very good job of drawing the reader ito the story during the action, but doesn't do as well when he is not talking about the flying. All in all a very good book that should be read with "A Lonely Kind of War" by Marshall Harrison to get a better understanding of the situation that our pilots faced in Southeast Asia.
