Jack Broughton`s other book,and IMHO his best, was Going down Town
a much more detailed account of the Vietnam experience.
If one is interested in the Vietnam air war I would recommend Clashes by
Marshall L. Michel a detailed but readable study of what went wrong
with the US Air Forces efforts there.
In defence of P.Closterman,I have read the book many times I enjoyed
it so much and I think reading between the lines,the man`s bottle was
almost empty by late 44 early 45.This may account for his taking
unnecessary risks with his life and the lives of his wingmen.The last
flight in his Tempest,Grand Charles,where he sat in the cockpit and
wept, I found very moving.
