Bob Stoffey

I finished Bob Stoffey's Cleared Hot! The Diary of A Marine Combat Pilot in Vietnam.

Bob Stoffey writes about his experiences in Vietnam as both a helicopter a fixed wing pilot.. While first person experiences are often narrowly written dealing only with the limited experiences of the participant, they can and in this case did provide a valuable window and understanding to one man's experience.

Refreshingly honest it provide the experiences of a pilots tribulations in fighting a war with limitations.

If you are looking for a a large view and analysis of the war this isn't it, but a great first person account of a pilot..

Entering Vietnam as Captain and leaving as a Major who did 3 tours , 2 in country and the 3rd posted to a ship.

I can wholeheartedly endorse and recommend this book.… (mer)
