Overview

Black & White Edition This is an aviation buff's dream. A journal of Capt. Jack Sciutti's most memorable, remarkable, and harrowing missions during his three tours as a combat pilot in Vietnam. This powerful portrayal of his riveting aerial exploits bombing on both sides of the Ho Chi Minh trail, takes you on an odyssey from his beginning as a USAF R.O.T.C. cadet at Virginia Tech, to a SAC nuclear warrior, and Vietnam bomber pilot. Flying Boeing's iconic B-52 Stratofortress, Jack, time and time again, put his life on the line for the men he flew with and for his country, while fighting for the very ideals proclaimed so eloquently in President Kennedy's 1961 Inaugural Address. Jack and his crew shared the adventures, the perils, and the thrills in flying against enemy SAM and anti-aircraft concentrations, as well as wary of the stray Soviet MiG fighter, while at times, battling in-flight mechanical failures and engine fires. Furthermore, and over and beyond the strict call of duty, (Read: could have damn-well gotten court-martialed) Jack and his crew in their spare time, conducted their own unauthorized personal mission against a Soviet spy trawler stationed straight off the runway out of Andersen AFB, Guam. Jack's aviation adventures are one for the books, literally, and are now part of America's flying lore and the history of the Vietnam War. BONUS FEATURE There are over twenty-five pages of appendixes, scanned directly out of Jack's B-52 pilot's operating handbook. These confidential documents provide an exceptionally rare glimpse into the world of a BUFF driver and his crew!
