In addition to being an interesting read, the novel was penned by a former Vietnam War fighter pilot. Based on this, I figure the terminology, comradery, and description of both the country and bases are pretty accurate.

Targets of Opportunity by Joe Weber
Targets of Opportunity by Joe Weber - 335 pages
This older book I found among the discards was worth reading. The novel spins the tail of Brad Austin, a Vietnam War era pilot, and a mission he and some fellow pilots are undertaking. In conjunction with the CIA, the team is using a captured MiG-17 in battles to target the North Vietnamese fighters and strafe their bases. The clever deception, while initially working, soon shows its problems.
