Diller\u003c\/b\u003e (Author)\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIt is 1969 and Dick Diller is on his way to flying warplanes in the Vietnam conflict. He is commissioned to fly A-1 Skyraiders in sometimes harrowing nighttime missions over Laos--surviving not only the danger of the missions he flew, but also the bureaucracy of the air force, from fitness testing to additional duties assigned, to attacking impossible-to-find targets in the dead of night--with minimal fuel supplies.At once entertaining and riveting, as well as thought-provoking, \"Firefly\" is the story of one man's journey in a world at war, and a day-to-day description of the fighting force that was flying A-1 Skyraiders in combat. \"Firefly\" contains actual transcriptions of dialogue of pilots locating a target and making a strike in northern Laos.\"Firefly\" is the only book to have been written about the night mission over Laos during the Vietnam conflict, and so fills a niche in the literature of the era.\u003c\/p\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 312\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.7 x 9 x 6 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e August 21, 2013\u003c\/div\u003e\n            ","brand":"BooksCloud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49156549574808,"sku":"9798553426279","price":40.75,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0759\/8830\/4024\/files\/U1Vlc3JNUjNEU0xqeENZU0xwWjA1dz09.webp?v=1779720897","url":"https:\/\/thepinkflamingobooks.myshopify.com\/products\/firefly-a-skyraiders-story-about-americas-secret-war-over-laos-paperback","provider":"The Pink Flamingo","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
