Crewed by a pilot and observer, it flew at treetop level by day, taking panoramic photographs. By night it scanned the landscape from 800 feet with side-looking airborne radar (SLAR) and infrared. Russell Pettis' lively, detailed memoir recounts his 1968-1969 tour with the 1st Cavalry Division in Vietnam, where served as a technical observer (T.O.) aboard an unarmed Mohawk, searching for elusive enemy forces near the DMZ and along the Laotian and Cambodian borders, dodging mountains in the dark and avoiding anti-aircraft fire"-- USA Air Cavalry Division 1 (DE-588)4223261-2 gnd rswk-swf Geschichte 1968-1969 gnd rswk-swf OV-1 Mohawk (DE-588)7856507-8 gnd rswk-swf Vietnamkrieg (DE-588)4063516-8 gnd rswk-swf Pettis, Russell / 1946- United States / Army / Cavalry Division, 1st Vietnam War, 1961-1975 / Personal narratives, American Vietnam War, 1961-1975 / Aerial operations, American Mohawk (Reconnaissance aircraft) Soldiers / United States / Biography HISTORY / Military / Vietnam War Military operations, Aerial / American Soldiers United States 1961-1975 Biographies Personal narratives / American (DE-588)4133254-4 Erlebnisbericht gnd-content USA Air Cavalry Division 1 (DE-588)4223261-2 b OV-1 Mohawk (DE-588)7856507-8 s Vietnamkrieg (DE-588)4063516-8 s Geschichte 1968-1969 z DE-604 Erscheint auch als Online-Ausgabe 978-1-4766-4525-4 Digitalisierung BSB München - ADAM Catalogue Enrichment application/pdf http://bvbr.bib-bvb.de:8991/F?func=service&doc_library=BVB01&local_base=BVB01&doc_number=032902253&sequence=000001&line_number=0001&func_code=DB_RECORDS&service_type=MEDIA Inhaltsverzeichnis |
