Summary of Dan Schilling & Lori Longfritz's Alone at Dawn

Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book. Sample Book Insights: #1 In 1966, four F-105 pilots were sent to bomb a valley in Laos, which was occupied by the Pathet Lao, a group fighting against South Vietnam and the US. The pilots had to fly deep into Indian territory and knew they would be heavily outnumbered. #2 The secret CIA airbase known as Lima 36 Alternate was the final stop for the pilots. #3 In 1965, Gene and Terry Chapman had their third child, John Allan Chapman. They lived in a typical New England town where kids played outside together and adults looked out for each other's kids. #4 The first use of the term combat controller was during Operation Varsity, an Allied assault across the Rhine River in Germany in March 1945. The operation used two Troop Carrier Glider Combat Control Teams equipped with the latest in navigational beacons.
