Full Color Deluxe EditionFighting the Viet Cong from 35,000 feet, Capt. Jack Sciutti flew over 100 missions in his three tours in Vietnam. This is his powerful portrayal of his most memorable missions, of his riveting aerial exploits while bombing on both sides of the Ho Chi Minh trail. This is his Odyssey from becoming a USAF R.O.T.C. cadet at Virginia Tech, to a SAC nuclear warrior and Vietnam Veteran.Flying Boeing's iconic B-52 Stratofortress, Jack, time and time again, put his life on the line for the men he flew with and for his country, while fighting for the very ideals proclaimed so eloquently in President Kennedy's 1961 Inaugural Address. That of being "unwilling to witness or permit the slow undoing of those human rights to which this nation has always been committed, and to which we are committed today at home and around the world."Jack and his crew shared the adventures, the perils, and the thrills in flying against enemy SAM and antiaircraft concentrations, as well as wary of the stray Soviet MiG fighter, while at times, battling in-flight mechanical failures and engine fires. Furthermore, and over and beyond the strict call of duty, (Read: could have damn-well gotten court-martialed) Jack and his crew in their spare time, conducted their own unauthorized "personal" mission against a Soviet spy trawler stationed straight off the runway out of Andersen AFB, Guam.Jack's aviation adventures are one for the books, literally, and are now part of America's flying lore and the history of the Vietnam War.Bonus FeatureWith more than fifty photographs, charts, and diagrams, as well as over twenty-five pages of appendixes which were scanned directly out of Jack's B-52C DASH ONE's pilot operating handbook, this narrative is robustly illustrated. From the Vietnam War pundit to the aviation enthusiast, these visuals provide an exceptionally rare glimpse into the world of a BUFF driver and his crew!
