A recent book published by an Aussie pilot - 'Sock it to 'Em Baby' by Garry Cooper. Damn good read; I've read most of the Vietnam War non-fiction titles dealing with the Australian Air War in Vietnam and this one would be one of the best.
Garry Cooper was an Aussie Fighter Pilot seconded to the USAF as an FAC in an 01 Birddog. His exploits make gripping reading. The administrative bungling of the RAAF is cringeworthy. The Australian Government approach to Awards and Honours is infuriating (I've just recieved a military service award 20 years after leaving the green machine).
Nice pic of a well-known Ppruner in there too.....
