"1966, Ubon Air Force Base, Thailand. The U.S. Air Force 8th Tactical Fighter Wing, armed with F-4s, is charged with escorting F-105 Thunderchiefs on bombing runs over North Vietnam. White House restrictions keep U.S. forces from striking North Vietnamese aircraft on the ground, and Hanoi's Soviet-trained MiG pilots enjoy rising "kill" rates against the Americans. Watching their buddies being shot out of the sky, the plots of the 8th TFW knew they were losing their part of the war."--Excerpted from summary on jacket flap.
