Yankee Air Pirates is a very detailed look at the uniforms and equipment of the United States Air Force as used during the Vietnam War. This comprehensive book - the first of a multi-volume set - presents hundreds of Air Force items with their names in over 900 color photographs, providing the reader with an accurate overview and reference covering fifty-eight Air Force units. Air Force jumpsuits, shirts, jungle jackets, headgear, insignia, weapons, plaques, souvenir lighters, and many items made in Vietnam illustrate the history of both air and ground units. Topics in this first volume include Command and Control, Tactical Control, Air Forward Control, Rescue Units, Electronic Warfare Units, and Air Police/Security Police Units. An extensive chapter offers a detailed review of uniforms, headgear, and footwear with references by model and date.

The Associated Press made an unprecedented commitment to reporting the conflict: It gathered an extraordinary group of superb photojournalists in its Saigon bureau and these men created one of the great photographic legacies of the twentieth century. Collected here are images that tell the human story of the Vietnam War, as we watch the American presence in the war swell from a trickle of military advisers in the late 1950s, through dramatic operations involving thousands of soldiers in the 1960s, to the fall of Saigon in 1975. These are pictures that both recorded and made history, taken by unbelievably courageous photojournalists. In a moving essay, writer Pete Hamill, who reported from Vietnam in 1965, celebrates their achievement, focusing on five masters who took many of the photographs in the book: Horst Faas, Henri Huet, Eddie Adams, Nick Ut, and Phuoc Van Dang.
