Book excerpt: “Grunt Air will raise awareness about the many missing POWs, some who are still missing...” Doug Alberts, Pilot, quoted from The Lakewood People “John R. Taylor had me sitting on the edge of my seat a few times, laughing and crying. He is an amazing author.”—A Reviewer Grunt Air tells the story of an elite Air Force helicopter unit used for the secret rescue of American pilots shot down during the Vietnam War who were being held and tortured by the enemy in Laos and Cambodia. Mid-1971 saw the Vietnam peace talks in Paris going nowhere. Eager for an end to the war, the U.S. halted POW rescue missions that might encumber the negotiations. Washington did, however, authorize military survey teams to collect crash site information. The 7th Air Force used this loophole to create a clandestine POW rescue operation. Nicknamed “Grunt Air” by the Air Force boys, they flew missions daily, disguised as a purely technical team, at one point even rescuing the wife of a CIA agent trapped behind enemy lines. Based on historical events from the unheralded fronts of the Vietnam War, GRUNT AIR reveals the treacherous, sometimes humorous, often deadly campaigns of a distinguished Air Force General, a hellcat Army Captain, and two feisty Texas housewives, all hell bent on rescuing lives imperiled by war, diplomacy, and bureaucracy.
