On Yankee Station
Author: John B. Nichols
Publisher: Naval Institute Press
ISBN: 1612512860
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 171
Book Description
Combining vivid personal narrative with historical and operational analyses, this book takes a candid look at U.S. naval airpower in the Vietnam War. Coauthors John Nichols, a fighter pilot in the war, and Barrett Tillman, an award-winning aviation historian, make full use of their extensive knowledge of the subject to detail the ways in which airpower was employed in the years prior to the fall of Saigon. Confronting the conventional belief that airpower failed in Vietnam, they show that when applied correctly, airpower was effective, but because it was often misunderstood and misapplied, the end results were catastrophic. Their book offers a compelling view of what it was like to fly from Yankee Station between 1964 and 1973 and important lessons for future conflicts. At the same time, it adds important facts to the permanent war record. Following an analysis of the state of carrier aviation in 1964 and a definition of the rules of engagement, it describes the tactics used in strike warfare, the airborne and surface threats, electronic countermeasures, and search and rescue. It also examines the influence of political decisions on the conduct of the war and the changing nature of the Communist opposition. Appendixes provide useful statistical data on carrier deployments, combat sorties, and aircraft losses.

Book Description
Midnight Rage, led the pack in the final trifecta race. His throat still felt raw from yelling commands from his seat in the stands, but he didn't mind. Any discomfort he went through was worth it as long as he placed the right bet. He had decided earlier in the day that he would place one final bet. He told Beth to put the two thousand dollars on the trifecta. Laughing to himself, Jack believed this had to be the stupidest damn bet he'd ever made in his life. With odds of one hundred fifty to one, lightning would have to strike. It did.

Languages : en
Pages : 326
Book Description
It's 1972. The Vietnam War is presumed to be ending as President Nixon attempts to keep his campaign promise. War protests in the US are filtering into the US Navy's 7th Fleet stationed off the coast of Vietnam in the Gulf of Tonkin at Yankee Station. Accidents are mounting on board the aircraft carrier USS Ranger, accidents that are appearing all too frequently for the ship's captain. LTJG John Harmon has just been assigned to the USS Ranger with orders from Admiral Zumwalt to stop the 'accidents' and find the culprit before operation Linebacker II begins. LTJG John Harmon is a third generation US Naval Officer. His father served with Admiral Zumwalt before joining ONI and helped to steer John toward the newly formed NIS. John must go undercover as an engineering officer aboard the aircraft carrier as it returns to duty after a suspected act of sabotage to one of her main engines. John's mission is time critical as the carrier heads back to Yankee Station. Along the way, John finds friendship, romance, conflict and mystery as he tries to unravel this case of seemingly serial sabotage from Washington, D.C. to the Philippines to the Gulf of Tonkin.

1972 : la guerre n'est plus qu'une plaie qui n'en finit pas de saigner, enterrant les illusions des années soixante. Nixon a retiré pratiquement toutes les troupes au sol, ne laissant que des conseillers et une puissance aérienne au service d'un Sud-Viêtnam agonisant. Avec l'assaut du Nord-Viêtnam contre son voisin du Sud en mai débute l'opération Linebacker, une campagne de bombardements contre le Nord. Un peu tard pour gagner la guerre, mais pas trop pour que se joue un dernier round dans le ciel de ce que les Français appelaient l'Indochine...
