“It is a great read for everyone and a must book for all aviation
enthusiasts.”—C. E. “Bud” Anderson, World War II triple ace and
author of To Fly and Fight
“‘That others may live’ was their motto and each of us who flew in
that war knew should our luck run out they would be there. I cannot
recount the times pilots were plucked out of enemy territory, or
out of the jungle trees of Laos by those brave men whose call signs
were Sandy and Jolly Green. Often they gave their own lives to save
another. Greater love hath no man than that. To each of them I give
my everlasting respect, admiration, and deep affection. Reach into
your hearts as you read this book and understand the lengths to
which men can love and support one another in the times of stress.
It will make you just a bit prouder to be an American.”—Robin Olds,
retired general and triple ace
