Description
The Ash Warriors tells the remarkable story of the men and women who carried out their mission in the face of an incredible series of natural disasters at Clark Air Base in the Philippines. In November 1991, the American flag was lowered for the last time, marking the end of a 90-year presence on the island. The following pages document the evacuation efforts and the actions of those who remained on base during the volcanic eruptions, floods, typhoons, and earthquakes that plagued Clark in June and July 1991. The author's personal experience as vice commander of the 3rd Tactical Fighter Wing at the time of the eruption brings a unique perspective to the story. The book is based on extensive research in archives and interviews with those who witnessed and participated in the events, providing a detailed account of this dramatic period in history. By examining the challenges faced by the Clark community during this time, The Ash Warriors offers a fascinating insight into the lives of the individuals involved and the extraordinary circumstances they endured.
