Book excerpt: Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book. Sample Book Insights: #1 Iceal Gene Hambleton had ached to get away from the listless plains of Illinois his entire life. But he was born into a farming family, and his father discouraged dreaming in him and his brothers. #2 Gene, the eldest son of Iceal Sr. , grew up to be a very different person than his father. He was funny, mischievous, and defiant, and he loved pranks. He grew up resenting his given name, Iceal, and eventually changed it to Gene. #3 Many young Americans in the 1930s and 1940s dreamed of flight. #4 Hayden’s obsession with flight began when he was a child. He would cut out balsa models of airplanes and fly them around his house.

Download or read book The Rescue of Bat 21 written by Darrell D Whitcomb. This book was released on 2014-07-15. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: When his electronic warfare plane--call sign Bat 21--was shot down on 2 April 1972, fifty-three-year-old Air Force navigator Iceal “Gene” Hambleton parachuted into the middle of a North Vietnamese invasion force and set off the biggest and most controversial air rescue effort of the Vietnam War. Now, after twenty-five years of official secrecy, the story of that dangerous and costly rescue is revealed for the first time by a decorated Air Force pilot and Vietnam veteran. Involving personnel from all services, including the Coast Guard, the unorthodox rescue operation claimed the lives of eleven soldiers and airmen, destroyed or damaged several aircraft, and put hundreds of airmen, a secret commando unit, and a South Vietnamese infantry division at risk. The book also examines the thorny debates arising from an operation that balanced one man’s life against mounting U.S. and South Vietnamese casualties and material losses, the operation’s impact on one of the most critical battles of the war, and the role played by search and rescue as America disengaged from that war.
