A generally well written overview of the airwar over the skies of Southeast Asia from 1965 to 1973 from the prospective of the US Navy, plus the US Marine Corps and Coast Guard as well.
Due to its size, it cannot be considered complete, yet the authors do a very good job of covering the key events, missions, aircraft and ships as they fought a very frustrating and difficult war against a crafty and dedicated enemy in the air and the ground.
It is a very good starting point and overview of the actions of the F-8 and F-4 fighters, A-1, A-4, A-6 and A-7 attack aircraft, plus the various support aircraft such as reconnaissance, electronic counter measures, airborne early warning and support helicopters.
