USAF Southeast Asia Monograph Series Volume IV, Monograph 6. Last Flight From Saigon is an exciting and moving account of how all our Services, as well as several civili…an agencies, worked together to pull-off the largest aerial evacuation in history--what many have referred to as a modern day Dunkirk. The three authors, intimately involved with the evacuation from beginning to end, have carefully pieced together an amazing story of courage, determination, and American ingenuity. Above all, it is a story about saving lives--one that is seldom told in times of war. All too often, critics of armed conflict make their targets out to be something less than human, bent on death and destruction. One need only study the enormity of the effort and cost that went into the "evacuation of Saigon, " and the resultant thousands of lives that were saved, to realize that the American fighting man is just as capable, and more eager, to save lives than he is in having to wage war.
