In [b:War For the Hell of It: A Fighter Pilot's View of Vietnam 28487746 War For the Hell of It A Fighter Pilot's View of Vietnam Ed Cobleigh https://images.gr-assets.com/books/1452269838s/28487746.jpg 1909171] Ed Cobleigh tells us what the Vietnam war was like for an F-4 fighter pilot flying combat missions out of Thailand. The book is composed of a loosely connected series of vignettes each focusing on a single topic. The writing is mostly first-person, you-are-there descriptions heavily intermixed with musing about various subjects philosophical, political, and personal. The book is lyrical and often bitingly sarcastic. Cobleigh's sense of humor, often black, shows throughout. It is not all about combat; we also get a lot side trips into various aspects of the surreal world of the Vietnam conflict.Good book.
