Veteran's Story: B-52 Crew And Their Adventures In Vietnam War: B 52 Bomber Vietnam
商品資訊
商品簡介
When the B-52 was originally conceived, its express purpose was the delivery of nuclear weapons against the Soviet Union. However, America's Cold War interventions had other plans for the venerable aircraft. As America's role expanded in Vietnam, so too did the B-52's.
This is a fact-based story of a B-52 crew and their adventures (and misadventures) during the Vietnam war.
Although war is in itself not humorous, humorous things happen in war. This is not only true on the battlefield but is also true at home where the wives and children anxiously await the return of their husbands and fathers.
No character in the book is anyone living individual, and the story is embellished with a little artistic license but is based on actual events. For example, there was a Russian spy at Pattaya Beach, Thailand. It became a game to see if one could be picked up by the lovely spy. There was also a rumor that a general's wife opened a house of pleasure on Guam. She had found a need and filled it. "Ernie's Hide-Away" resembles Charlie's Hide-Away, a favorite restaurant and watering hole for B-52 guys.
Merelyn accurately describes life back home. Wives were close. They helped each other cope and took care of the ones who turned to alcohol or other men. She lived through the panic when an airplane was lost and the blue station wagons cruised through the housing areas, carrying the Chaplain and a senior officer to the home of the new window.
This book is history seen through the eyes of those who lived it.
