Jets may be a novelty to most Vietnamese pilots, but combat is not. U.S. flyers usually spend a year in Viet Nam, then go home. The Vietnamese airmen have been fighting many years for a fraction of the pay ($80 a month for a first lieutenant v. about $1,000 for his American counterpart).

But the fierce glare frustrated attempts to record the $5,000 gambol on film. Explains Williams, eyes aglow: "The idea wasn't to see it, really. The idea was for people to hear about...
