At the end of his Navy hitch next year, Reservist Adams thinks he will have had enough of the war, plans to go back to college. The Navy, already convinced that he has done quite enough, has ordered him to fly no more missions over North Viet Nam. Why did he take such extraordinary risks to avoid capture?
