Скачать или смотреть MACV SOG Pilot’s Secret Life in Vietnam

James “Sneaky” White enlisted in the Marine Corps in 1960 and served as a machine gunner until 1964. Enamored with aviation, White reelisted and, after years of training, deployed to Vietnam in 1966 with HMM-262. On March 21, 1967, while serving aboard a CH-46, he desinguished himself in combat while inserting a Marine recon team and earned the Distinguished Flying Cross. After completing his tour, he left the Marine Corps and joined the Army to pursue an opportunity to become a pilot. But, due to an administrative error, White would spend three months in Vietnam as a rifleman before being plucked from the jungle and redirected back to the aviation program. He graduated from training and returned to Vietnam for a third time, flying combat missions in support of Special Forces and MACV-SOG, where would earn a Silver Star.
