Air America: (Air America From World War II to Vietnam) (2003) By Christopher Robbins
 
The inside story of the world's most extraordinary covert operation: Air America. It started from the remnants of Claire Chennault's Flying Tigers air squadron of World War II and became a loosely organized airline run by the CIA. At its height, Air America was running the the biggest commercial airfleet in the world. This astonishing account from author Christopher Robbins chronicles AA's activities over the decades of Indochina conflict, including profiles of legendary pilots like "Earthquake" McGoon. Includes enough harrowing landings and flak-dodging to please the most demanding fans of military history, as well as the author's disparaging comments on the Hollywood film of the same name.
