As new. Appears unread. "Here is the incredible inside story of the world's most extraordinary covert operation - Air America, a secret airline run by the CIA, which at its height had the biggest commerical airfleet in the world. Air America flew the missions no one else would touch, from General Claire Chennault's legendary Flying Tigers in WWII to two brutal decades cruising over the bomb-savaged jungles of Southeast Asia. Their pilots dared all and did all - a high-rolling, fast-playing bunch of has-beens and hellraisers whose motto was 'Anything, Anywhere, Anytime'.This updated edition now includes a new prologue, looking back over the years at the reaction to the book - from the pilots, the CIA, the US government, and the general media.".
