[JYO] A Navy Pilot's 40 hours on the run in Laos - 12/14 @2PM - Leesburg Balch Library

Rescue of Streetcar 304: A Navy Pilot's Forty Hours on the Run in  Laos
author, Kenny Wayne Fields - Thomas  Balch Library- Leesburg, VA 12/14 @2PM
 
Fields mixes humor and drama as he recounts teeth-chattering close  
encounters with Pathet Lao guerillas, and nearly being killed time and again by 
 
friendly bombs. He describes in riveting detail the radio chatter between  
participants, and the stress effects of coping with fear, sleep deprivation,  
wild 
animals, and relentless AAA. By the time it was over, the U.S. Air Force  had 
flown 189 sorties to rescue Fields, and in the process four pilots ejected,  
seven 
planes were lost or heavily damaged, and one pilot became a POW for five  
years.
