(from the back cover) Still in use and in production, the C-130 Hercules has served since 1956, seeing extensive action in the Vietnam War. Tagged a "trash Hauler" and the "green garbage can" by servicemen, this aircraft has a history of airlift missions not previously told in other accounts written about this plane. Here, Sam McGowan focuses on actual missions, and drawing from personal experiences, tells the plane's fascinating tale...The C-130 has enjoyed the longest production run of any airplane built. Until now, however, the story of the airlift mission for which the plane was designed has never been told. This is the book that tells the story. |  |
