Review
"This unique collection provides insight into the ideas and personalities of the men who flew in combat in Vietnam. Tuso''s fine and careful scholarship puts the songs in context and allows them to be understood by persons who might not be familiar with the specifics of military aviation. His extensive and competent introduction and comments on each song provide virtually a capsule history of the Air Force in Southeast Asia. This book belongs in every collection of Vietnam literature.”--John Newman, Curator, Vietnam War Literature Collection, Colorado State University
