Ho Chi Bear and the Ravens

[BobM]

A longer interesting story of a rambunctious Texan Vietnam War Era pilot and his exploits. Thinking could make a great movie.

Ho Chi Bear and the Ravens -​

"Dubbed the Ravens, misfit American pilots in Vietnam learned they could fly, fight, and drink as they pleased in a CIA-sponsored secret war. Just one catch: They answered to General Vang Pao."​

Ho Chi Bear and the Ravens

Drummed out of Vietnam, misfit American pilots had a choice: Face the music of military justice or go someplace where oddballs and rule-breakers were appreciated.

"Secret war" - God help you if you get captured. You don't officially exist, so that's the end of you.
