This book contains 232 real-life stories submitted by USAF and allied pilots who participated in the Vietnam war as Forward Air Controllers, those who flew with them, those who supported them on the ground, and, in some cases, those on the ground whom they supported. These brave pilots flew small, slow aircraft at low altitudes searching for the enemy and then directed pilots flying ground-attack aircraft onto those targets. Many did not return. They gave all. This book is dedicated to them.
It is absolutely THE best FAC book available today — bar none — and a great addition to every FAC’s personal library! It covers everything from early FAC history to the Mayaguez incident in 1975 with emphasis on the history of each of the Tactical Air Support Squadrons in Southeast Asia.

""Cleared Hot""
“Cleared Hot” …… Forward Air Controller Stories from the Vietnam War provides an excellent accounting on this elite group of Aviators. No other source could possibly provide the personal and in depth information found in this book.
Loved by the “grunts” on the ground, but often overlooked and misunderstood by their own branch of service, “Cleared Hot” is the perfect source for the historians who wanted to know about the FAC mission, but were afraid to ask.
Not limited by a publisher’s restriction, the reader of “Cleared Hot” will find in depth accounts of humor, hardships, danger and personal tragedy. The FAC mission will provide the reader with the true meaning of “The Wild Blue Yonder”.
