This is a true and gripping story of a young U.S. Army pilot who volunteered to fly covert reconnaissance missions in Vietnam. A new author, Doherty made me feel as if I were sitting with him in the cockpit of his plane, almost in his skin, as he relived and reflected upon his harrowing eight-month tour of duty. His memories are described in meticulous detail, packed with both facts and feelings that had me sometimes in tears and sometimes laughing. Doherty is a new voice telling an old story about a tragic war that America should never forget.
