About the Book

Vietnam Combat An Attack Pilot's Diary As a very young man, Captain Leue' prayed to be a fighter pilot. He cautions you be careful what you pray for. Instead of the promised peace after WWII, he flew a hundred missions in Corsairs and F9F Panthers from USS Boxer, Valley Forge and Philippine Sea, dodging red balls of fire over Korean. These tales are recorded in Volume 1, "Korean Combat." Now, in Vietnam, you are in his A4C Skyhawk cockpit as he dives through flak and missiles, surviving over two hundred more combat missions. In this volume, he leads Navy Light Attack Squadron 153 as Executive Officer and Commanding Officer, flying from the carriers USS Coral Sea and Constellation. His Light Attack Squadron loses many of its aircraft and pilots, all close friends, to massed anti-aircraft fire and missiles. His tales of personal combat are masterfully woven into the political drama and tragedy of Vietnam.
