...VOICE THROUGH A CLOUD by Denton Welch. 254 pages. University of Texas...

When the nuclear-powered Enterprise finished an eight-month spell on Yankee Station off North Viet Nam in June, a squadron commander noted that the ship had launched more strike missions than any other carrier in a comparable period. Yet, he added ruefully, "we just haven't done the job we could have." Said a diplomat in Saigon: "How would you feel if you" were a pilot in the best air force...
