A Novel of Navy Combat Pilots.
In the Navy's air war against North Vietnam, best friends Lt. Mike Santy and Lt. Tim Boyle are fighting the enemy on every front. Catapulted from the deck of the aircraft carrier "Concord", Santy takes his A-7 Corsair attack bomber on strikes deep inside hostile territory, through withering SAM assaults and anti-aircraft barrages.
Boyle's challenge is saving lives, flying fast and low to rescue downed pilots in an enormous HH-3A Sea King Combat Search and Rescue (SAR) helicopter. On a harrowing mission, an attack staged across the entire width of North Vietnam, they're thrust together in a test of courage and endurance deep in enemy territory.
Searingly realistic, 'North Sar' is an extraordinary story of friendship, dedication, and the pride that drove SAR pilots to risk everything to save a life.
