Description
A Lonely Kind of War is a memoir of aerial warfare in Vietnam by retired Air Force pilot Marshall Harrison. In his third combat tour, Harrison was converted to flying the OV-10 Bronco and became a Forward Air Controller, tasked with directing airstrikes against an elusive enemy in the dense jungles and rainforests of South Vietnam. Harrison's account of his experiences as a FAC is a gripping and suspenseful tale of valor, brotherhood, and patriotism. He recounts the challenges of flying the Bronco, including learning to navigate its maneuverable capabilities and avoiding injury to friendly forces. He also shares a harrowing account of being shot down and spending a night in the jungle. This book offers a unique perspective on the life of a FAC, who played a crucial role in the aerial battles of South Vietnam. With its riveting flying scenes and harrowing personal stories, A Lonely Kind of War is a compelling read for anyone interested in military history and the experiences of those who served in Vietnam.
