Description

Tap Code tells the incredible true story of Captain Carlyle "Smitty" Harris, an Air Force pilot who was shot down over Vietnam in 1965 and spent eight years in captivity. Through his experiences, he taught fellow prisoners the Tap Code, a long-unused method of communication that became a lifeline during their internment.

But Smitty's story is not just about his own survival - it's also about the strength and dignity of his wife, Louise, who raised their three children alone for seven long years, unaware of her husband's fate. This riveting dual narrative shares the story of ingenuity under pressure, hope, faith, and resolve in the face of unimaginable adversity.

Tap Code is a testament to the power of human spirit and the enduring bonds of love and commitment. A gripping and inspiring tale of true love, honor, and courage, this book is a worthwhile read for anyone interested in the Vietnam War and the stories of those who served.
