Level Hell : A Scout Pilot in the Big Red One
Hugh L., Jr. Mills, Robert Anderson
The first-hand account of a special breed of Vietnam aviator, by a
highly decorated pilot whose exploits in armed helicopters have become
legendary. His chopper wasn't designed to fight, but 21-year-old Hugh Mills
had other ideas. His troop of scouts made up their own rules and made aerial
warfare history.

Hanoi and Back: The U.S. Air Force and North Vietnam, 1966 1973
by Wayne Thompson, Richard P. Hallion
Book Description: By the summer of 1966, the U.S. Air Force's reputation
had hit rock bottom in Vietnam. After nearly eighteen months of the limited
bombing campaign called Operation Rolling Thunder, North Vietnam's airfields,
principal port, and capital city remained largely unscathed. In 1972 the
two Linebacker campaigns joined with other air operations to make a dramatic,
although temporary, difference. Wayne Thompson draws upon twenty years
of research in classified records to present a full history of the Air
Force role in the war against North Vietnam. He provides an unprecedented
view of the motivations and actions of the people involved—from aircrews
to generals to politicians—in every phase of the air campaigns.
