Overview

"It 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."
