{"product_id":"mohawk-recon-russell-pettis-9781476687360","title":"Mohawk Recon: Vietnam from Treetop Level with the 1st Cavalry, 1968-1969","description":"\u003cp\u003e Before unmanned combat drones, there was the Grumman OV-1C Mohawk, a twin-engine turboprop fixed-wing reconnaissance aircraft loaded with state-of-the-art target detection systems. 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. This lively, detailed memoir recounts the author's 1968-1969 tour with the 1st Cavalry Division in Vietnam, serving 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Russell Pettis\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1476687366\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781476687360\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e McFarland \u0026amp; Company\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 09\/06\/2021\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 158\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.50lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.80h x 5.70w x 0.40d","brand":"Russell Pettis","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43993861751039,"sku":"9781476687360","price":29.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_bf79fbd6-0cac-4339-b123-1fef1d27ac22.jpg?v=1683326741","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/mohawk-recon-russell-pettis-9781476687360","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
