General Note
Raven, Rustic, and Red Marker; Sidewinder, Viper and Cottonmouth; Covey, Jake, Hound Dog, Bird Dog, and Sundog, are but a few of the call signs of 4,000 brave Forward Air Controllers who fought in Southeast Asia from 1961 until 1975. They conducted a variety of missions in lightly armed aircraft over heavily defended targets in Vietnam, Cambodia and Laos. Many paid the ultimate price-with over 200 killed in action. This CD contains the personal stories of these pilots, navigators, interpreters, and combat controllers, as well as tributes to fallen comrades. I am proud to have served with these courageous warriors. (back cover)
