Enhanced descriptions from Syndetics:

Beginning in the late 1970s, five veteran airmen sat for private interviews. Decades after the guns fell silent, they recounted in vivid detail the most dangerous missions that made the difference in the war. Today these heroes are long gone, but now, in this incredible volume, they tell their stories in their own words.

Includes bibliographical references and index.
