Last Chance, A U.S. Airman's Story
Category: Books
To my knowledge "Last Chance, a U.S. Airman's Story" is the only book published about the ground based airmen who served during the Vietnam Conflict. The book has elements of every human emotion - sadness, happiness, fear, anger, disgust, surprise - and some stories will have you rolling with laughter. The book is full of history and would be of interest to anyone that is or was in the military.

Streaks of streetlight edged the mini-blinds, no prowling shadows outside the windows. Slipping out of bed, I tiptoed across the bare wood floor. Pounding blood echoed in my ears. I made my way to the doorway and edged out into the hall. With my back tight to the wall I inched forward, straining to hear any sound or movement. There...a muffled noise...behind my bedroom door...
