One Trip Too Many, A Pilot’s Memoirs of 38 Months in Combat over Laos and Vietnam, is an autobiography about my life as a pilot in Southeast Asia during the conflict in Vietnam. It is primarily a story to share with family and friends about my personal involvement in the conflict and the turbulent decade of the 60s and does not attempt to question the politics of the era. It begins with a brief description of my quest to gain admittance to the United States Air Force Academy, my four years at the Academy, and the subsequent year of pilot training. I flew three different types of aircraft in combat and the book provides insight into the training that took place for the C-130 Hercules, the F-105 Thunderchief, and the A-1 Skyraider. Each of the three tours in combat over Laos and Vietnam is described with emphasis on the more memorable flights including a bailout in the A-1 and the final crash on takeoff that ended my active duty Air Force career. My time in various hospitals is described at the end of the book and the epilogue tells briefly of my life after retirement from the United States Air Force. The book has been described as a combination of Band of Brothers, Top Gun, and Forrest Gump.

Great story, but the reading was horrible.

This is worth the read, but the machine reading is really bad. Calling migs meeges, is just one example that was very distracting.

The self facing and private review of his flying as well as his personal life and interaction with other pilots

Narration is very detailed in recounting the names and ranks of every airman as as well as interacted this also extends to the aircraft manufacturer and performance and type, but also they serial assign id numbers.

A straightforward, no nonsense account of the highlights of an exemplary Air Force career.

Great storytelling of an action filled 10 year Air Force pilot’s service. The author’s grit and determination lead to an amazingly diverse flying career under adverse conditions during the was in SE Asia.

I found the book authoritative, well researched and well written. My audiobook “read” was only marred by the inability of “Virtual Voice” to deal with aircraft and unit numerical designations and its inability to pronounce Vietnamese names.

Real readers are the BEST

Computer simulated reader was less than adequate. Many nuances detracted from the listening experience.

Great details, make the story come to life!

riveting stories...great details loved the action descriptions.., Flights... all of it thank you so much !!
