"SECRET and DANGEROUS"

Night of the SO'N TAY POW RAID by Air Commando Pilot, William A. Guenon, Jr.

Long over due, it’s a pilot’s eyewitness account of the C-130 aircrew and how they pulled off the raid of the century

in spite of some glitches. No fictional work could possibly come close to this  absorbing  chronicle of the So'N Tay Raid

—complete with all the twists and turns of a night low-level on the edge of a stall with six helicopters in close  formation

over jungle-covered mountains.

Ride along on this mission-impossible—deep into North Vietnam and experience the daring rescue attempt of POWs

being held in the shadows of Hanoi.

It’s the only book on the raid by a raider, and provides a rare glimpse of 1970 history as it unfurled the night of the raid.

As a two-part tale, this read details the same raider-pilot’s sentimental journey back to So'N Tay 24 years after the raid;

including his high-anxiety confrontation, arrest, and   interrogation by Vietnamese police in 1994.

William A. “Bill” Guenon, Jr.,  a Pennsylvania  native, has spent the majority of his aviation career in many facets of the

transportation industry—both military and civil on a global basis. Bill served in the U.S. Air Force as a Command Pilot

and  Senior Air Traffic Controller.  In the private sector he pulled a stint as business development for air traffic radar,

automation and displays including vessel traffic systems.

A bit of an adventurer, he finished third in the Great Atlantic Air Race of 1969 with a commendable time of 7 hours and

39 minutes, well before the supersonic Concorde went into commercial service.

Currently, when not involved with aviation consulting for his company Omni-Alliances, or writing books in the

Phung-wah tradition, Bill can usually be found mingling at air shows, aviation exhibitions, and aerospace museums. 

138 pages, numerous photo's, maps, documents. Soft cover.
