520 "For seven long years hundreds of young US airmen flew
sortie after sortie against North Vietnam's formidable and
strategically important bridge, dodging a heavy
concentration of anti-aircraft fire and enemy MiG planes.
Many American airmen were shot down, killed, or captured
and taken to the infamous "Hanoi Hilton" POW camp. But
after each air attack, when the smoke cleared and the
debris settled, the bridge stubbornly remained standing.
For the North Vietnamese it became a symbol of their
invincibility; for US war planners an obsession; for US
airmen a testament to American mettle and valor. Using
after-action reports, official records, and interviews
with surviving pilots, as well as untapped Vietnamese
sources, Dragon's Jaw chronicles American efforts to
destroy the bridge, strike by bloody strike, putting
readers into the cockpits, under fire"--|cPublisher's
