Scanned Book Pages 413-414: First-Person Ejection Narrative, 'Misty' Fast FAC Account
Pages from a published first-person account describe the harrowing moment an F-100 Super Sabre flown by a 'Misty' Fast Forward Air Controller was hit over the Ho Chi Minh Trail near Da Nang, forcing the crew to eject. The classified Misty program flew some of the most dangerous reconnaissance and strike-control missions of the Vietnam War, and firsthand narratives like this preserve the intensity of combat as experienced by the men who flew them.
