Vigilante!

A Vigilante pilot tells the story of the RA-5C's development coupled with vivid tales of flying harrowing combat missions over North Vietnam. No book has ever been written about North American's Mach-2 A3J/RA-5C like this one. Author Robert "Boom" Powell was a US Navy carrier pilot who flew Vigilantes during his second combat tour in Vietnam, and he skillfully weaves together historical facts and detailed information with never-before-published photographs to produce the definitive work on this historic aircraft. Personal anecdotes from the men who were there add the vital human element to this compelling story of naval aviation at its best.
