"As a 26-year old Marine radar intercept officer (RIO), Fleet Lentz flew 131 combat
missions in the back seat of the supersonic F-4 B Phantom II during the wind-down
of the Vietnam War. Overcoming military regulations, he and his fellow Marines at
The Rose Garden (Royal Thai Air Base Nam Phong) kept sorely needed supplies moving
in while moving combat troops out of Southeast Asia. His personal and accessible memoir
describes how pilots and RIOs executed dangerous air-to-ground bombing missions in
Vietnam, Cambodia and Laos-quite different from the air-to-air warfare for which they
had trained-and kept themselves mission-capable (and human) while surviving harsh
circumstances."
