The mortar and rocket attacks, especially the big one on the morning of August 1, 1972 at Bien Hoa are described in great detail. The photos of damaged buildings and aircraft help explain why surviving a tour of duty at Bien Hoa was a real goal.From arriving and departing 'Freedom Birds' during peaceful interludes to the sheer terror and tragic moments of mortar and rocket attacks that changed lives forever, this book is a record of those experiences.
