The "Ravens" is certainly the best Vietnam air book after "Thud Ridge". As an ex-army pilot I relate closely to the Bird Dog operations. There is also a bit about my beloved Porters operated by Air America. Observation and FAC pilots (even USAF ones) just called it "low flying", "nap-of-the-earth" is an Air Force weasel words expression. Probably the Army has been infected with double-talk BS by now and actually have that expression in their vocabulary. I went to a Ravens reunion dinner in USA about 20 years ago and like the SAS/Green Beret etc veterans, there were 100 Ravens in the whole Vietnam war and 250 of them are still alive! Lang
