This review is from: The Raaf in Vietnam: Australian Air Involvement in the Vietnam War, 1962-1975 (The Official History of Australia's Involvement in Southeast Asian) (Hardcover)

The reader is presented with a wealth of material; illustrations, photographs and maps detailing all aspects of the RAAF during the Vietnam War. Keynote are accurate combat action reports and attention to most every military aviation issue.

The literary style allows for very personal accounts of the heroics of the aviators and the specific of military operations. I was enlightened by the joint Australian and American cooperation depicted. Perhaps the most important use of this book by American military would be the means provided to contrast American aviation problems and issues with those of the Australians.

This volume belongs in every aviation or military school library.
