the long version

An heroic and authoritative account of the United States Air Force forward air controllers (FACS) who opted out of the War in Vietnam to pursue a plain clothes, top secret mission in neighbouring, neutral Laos. Call sign ‘Raven,’ the flyers trolled the battlefield in light observation aircraft seeking out Pathet Lao and North Vietnamese Army positions and movements and reported and directed follow-on airstrikes. Christopher Robins, also the author of ‘Air America,’ supports his compelling and at times moving narrative with a wealth of anecdotes from veteran Ravens.
