Erstausgabe
Hardcover. Zustand: Very good. Zustand des Schutzumschlags: Very good. First Edition [stated]. illustrations (some in color). Signed by the author on the front free endpaper. Leo Keith Thorsness (February 14, 1932 - May 2, 2017) was a Colonel in the United States Air Force who received the Medal of Honor for his actions in the Vietnam War. He was awarded the medal for an air engagement on April 19, 1967. He was shot down two weeks later and spent six years in captivity in North Vietnam as a prisoner of war. The Medal of Honor action included: "As their F-105 circled the parachutes of Kingfish 02-Alpha and 02-Bravo, relaying the position to Crown, the airborne search and rescue HC-130 command aircraft, Johnson spotted a MiG-17 off their right wing. Though not designed for air-to-air combat, their aircraft responded well as Thorsness attacked the MiG and destroyed it with 20-mm cannon fire, just as a second MiG closed on his tail. Low on fuel, Thorsness outran his pursuers and left the battle area to rendezvous with a KC-135 tanker over Laos." He returned to the battle with good effect. Surviving Hell recounts a six-year captivity marked by hours of brutal torture and days of agonizing boredom. Thorsness describes how he and other American POWs strove to keep their humanity. Thrown into solitary confinement for refusing to bow down to his captors, for instance, he disciplined his mind by memorizing long passages of poetry that other prisoners sent him by tap code. Surviving Hell is an eloquent story of resistance and survival. No other book about American POWs has described so well the strategies these remarkable men used in their daily effort to maintain their dignity. With resilience and resourcefulness, they waged war by other means in the darkest days of a long captivity.

Kartoniert / Broschiert. Zustand: New. Über den AutorrnrnLEO THORSNESS received his Medal of Honor after he was released from his North Vietnamese prison in 1973. From 1988 to 1992, he served as a senator from Washington State. Mr. Thorness now lives in Huntsville, Alabama.
Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - On April 19, 1967, Air Force Colonel Leo Thorsness was on a mission over North Vietnam when his wingman was shot down by an enemy MiG, which then lined up for a gunnery pass on the two American pilots who had bailed out. Although his F 105 was not designed for aerial combat, Thorsness engaged the MiG and destroyed it. Spotting four more MiGs, he fought his way through a barrage of North Vietnamese SAMs to engage them too, shooting down one and driving off the others. For this action, Thorsness was awarded the Medal of Honor. But he didn't learn about it until years later--by a 'tap code' coming through prison walls--because on April 30, Thorsness was shot down, captured, and transported to the Hanoi Hilton. Surviving Hell recounts a six-year captivity marked by hours of brutal torture and days of agonizing boredom. With a novelist's eye for character and detail, Thorsness describes how he and other American POWs strove to keep their humanity. Thrown into solitary confinement for refusing to bow down to his captors, for instance, he disciplined his mind by memorizing long passages of poetry that other prisoners sent him by tap code. Filled with hope and humor, 'Surviving Hell' is an eloquent story of resistance and survival. No other book about American POWs has described so well the strategies these remarkable men used in their daily effort to maintain their dignity. With resilience and resourcefulness, they waged war by other means in the darkest days of a long captivity.

This famed U.S. Air Force officer during the Vietnam War was shot down over North Vietnam in 1967 and endured six years of torture as a prisoner of war; among many other distinctions, he was awarded the Medal of Honor. Signed FDC, 6½" X 3½", postally cancelled in Arlington, Virginia on 11 November 1979 and with "First Day of Issue" so stamped. Fine. Single 15-cent "Honoring Vietnam Veterans" U.S. postage stamp at upper right and large ArtCraft cachet at left. Near the center, Thorsness signs boldly in black fineline and adds "C.B.U." (cluster bomb unit). Also signed at center by noted Vietnam War vice admiral Joseph Metcalf III (1927-2007). Accompanied by a pristine glossy black-and-white 10" X 8" photograph, side-by-side head-and-shoulders portraits in uniform of Medal of Honor recipients Thorsness and Harold Furlong. A superb pair.
