The Burning Bronco: Captain Steven L. Bennett (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9798188283759)

In the skies above Vietnam, courage is measured in seconds... and sacrifice lasts forever.

Captain Steven Bennett has dreamed of flying since he was a boy standing in an East Texas yard, watching airplanes disappear into the clouds. That dream carries him across the world to the cockpit of an OV-10 Bronco, where he serves as a Forward Air Controller during the final years of the Vietnam War.

Each day brings new dangers-enemy fire, desperate calls for help, and the heavy responsibility of protecting the men fighting on the ground. Alongside Marine observer Captain Michael Brown, Bennett flies mission after mission, forging a friendship built on trust and duty.

Then, on June 29, 1972, a single missile changes everything.

With their aircraft crippled and one parachute destroyed, Captain Bennett faces an impossible choice: save himself or remain with the man beside him.

Inspired by the true story of Medal of Honor recipient Captain Steven L. Bennett, The Burning Bronco is a powerful and unforgettable novel of courage, brotherhood, and the kind of selfless love that defines true heroism.

Some heroes are remembered for the battles they fought.

Others are remembered because, when the moment came, they chose to stay.
