Book Descriptions:

Through its remarkable service during the war in Southeast Asia, the Skyraider became legendary. It served with distinction in the hands of USN, USAF, and South Vietnamese Air Force pilots, who took the war to the enemy, often at low altitude and in the face of devastating antiaircraft fire. And it suffered heavy losses. The Skyraider's versatility and the mettle of its pilots were unmatched. This book takes not only a look at an old airplane, but at the warriors who flew and maintained the machine they called the "Spad." It captures the essence of combat in the Spad, and explains the broad range of Spad operations. The text, rich with the narratives of pilots and ground crew, is complemented by original photos, 70 emblems, and detailed listings of every Skyraider that flew in the war, and the colorful units to which they were assigned.
