David O. Strickland's darkly comic novel is set during Egress Recap - the return of American POWs from Vietnam's "Hanoi Hilton" in 1973. Like Kurt Vonnegut's classic Slaughterhouse-Five, The First Man off the Plane features POWs bombed by their own planes. Like Joseph Heller's satirical Catch-22, it depicts the insanity of war...as well as Vietnamese, the Home Front, and the Nixon Administration - including President Nixon, Kissinger, Ehrlichman, Haldeman, Dean, General Haig, and Hugh Hefner's Playmates...among others.
