Lucky;s Bridge,
By Rick Taylor (North Pole, Alaska) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Lucky's Bridge (Mass Market Paperback)
I am an old 'Buff' (B-52D/H) crew chief. I was especially interested in Mr. Wilson's depiction of the 354th TFW and the squadrons within because of a friend who served in the 354th TFW. Mr. Wilson's representation of the air war over Hanoi was strong enough that I felt as if I was in the cockpit of the famous 'Thud's' as they rolled onto their targets, amidst the AAA, and SAM's. On 11 May 1966, we lost our friend over Hanoi. He was a 'Thud' driver in the 355th TFS, and is still listed as MIA. Mr. Wilson's book helped make it possible for me to 'see' and 'feel' what the pilots of the 354th TFW endured. Outstanding series. I loved them all.

Outstanding book on the Vietnam Air War!,
By A Customer
This review is from: Lucky's Bridge (Mass Market Paperback)
This book is out print, but worth hunting down in the used book stores. Second book in a series of three. I recommend reading Termite Hill first. All three books in series are hard to put down. Tom Wilson makes you feel like you are a part of squadron.

read it twice now,
This review is from: Lucky's Bridge (Mass Market Paperback)
If you are planning on reading this book, it is imperative that you either a) read Termite Hill first, or b) read Tango Uniform after. You'll notice on the customer reviews that the only rating below four stars has not read the other books in the trilogy. That being said, Lucky's Bridge begins to follow a new squadron of pilots, and therefore brings a new cast of characters. These pilots are not Wild Weasels, which is what Termite Hill focused on, however, some of the main cast and crew return, Benny Lewis, Pearly Gates, etc...
Keep in mind that this is PART 2 of a trilogy, there is a lot of information BEFORE this book, and even more information AFTER this book. A great read, as well as re-read!
