About This Item

New York, New York, U.S.A.: Crown Pub, 1987. Book. Very Good +. Hardcover. First Edition/First Printing. A square tight solid carefully read copy. This copy has some light soil to the edges of the text block, a smallish see thru type stain to the top edge of the text block. The priced jacket has some lightish rubbing wear else fine. The story of the men who flew in America's secret war in Laos. I am probably wrong but I think that the Mel Gibson movie "Air America" was at least partially based on this book. A very nice copy. THIS COPY IS IN MY POSSESSION AND WILL NORMALLY SHIP NEXT DAY..

Synopsis
