Format:Mass Market Paperback
A really good read, I was worried as I had not read his first book, but there was no need, this one centres on his second tour, flying the F4, and goes in depth into the workings of an F4 unit over Vietnam. Rasimus also talks about his time off, which puts a different turn on normal aviation books. I really enjoyed this book, could not put it down, and already have his first book on order..!

Format:Hardcover
This is one of the best narratives covering the Linebacker period of the Vietnam war from a USAF fighter pilot's viewpoint. Ed Rasimus is extremely informative on tactics, combat procedures involved in flying the F-4E Phantom and on the routines of life at Korat RTAFB. He writes in a clear, entertaining way, explaining (for example) the complexities of the Wild Weasel mission with great lucidity. An excellent follow-up to his earlier F-105 book, 'While Thunder Rolled'.

This is the authors second book and i found it as enjoyable as his first one, it highlights the differences not only between the F4 Phantom and the F105 thunderchief in combat but it also demonstrates the changes that occured not only in the Vietnam war but also the changes within the U.S.A.F on on the base since his first toue of duty, well worth buying if your interested in the air war in Vietnam.

Palace Cobra
I would recommend that anyone buying this should get both his books and read When Thunder Rolled first. Both are fantastic but for different reasons. Read more

Good look at a pilot's life in Vietnam but somewhat insubstantial
I had not read the author's first book before reading this. Rasimus is a highly experienced pilot who did two tours in Vietnam, the second as an F4 Phantom pilot. Read more
