Preface“The desert in front of me was a boiling exploding inferno. I was transfixed by horror. The two burning aircraft, an H-53 helicopter and a C-130 tanker, resembled prehistoric monsters locked in mortal combat. Red-hot chunks of streaking metal painted incandescent lines across the landscape. Jet fuel, bullets, grenades and missiles were the ingredients.”
Col James H. Kyle, USAF (ret.)
Commander – Operation Eagle Claw
