Produktbeschreibung
THE REST OF THE STORY is an award winning history of the Red Markers, a small Air Force forward air controller (FAC) detachment, and the men they supported - the elite Vietnamese Airborne Division and its U.S. Army advisors (called Red Hats) of MACV Team 162. The Red Markers and Red Hats fought alongside the Airborne in battles throughout Vietnam and Cambodia for more than a decade. These personnel embedded with an allied armed force developed a unique camaraderie and perspective on the Vietnam War. More than 100 men contributed to this chronicle, including Red Marker FACs, crew chiefs, and radio operators, plus Red Hats, FACs from other detachments, Cobra gunship and Medevac crewmen, and artillerymen from field artillery units. This book is a tribute to them all.
