Dustoff by Mike Novosel is a nice book - highly recommended
Mike Novosel was a B29 pilot/AC near the end of WW2. He resigned his Air Force Reserve commission when the Air Force refused to recall him to duty in Vietnam, joining the Army as a Warrant Officer. He and his son were the only father/son medical evacuation pilots in Vietnam, together evacuating more than 8,000 wounded and, over the span of a few weeks, rescuing each other after their helicopters went down. When Mike Novosel retired on March 1, 1985, he was the last World War II aviator still on active duty.Highly decorated (inc MOH).
