Ross "Rosie" Detwiler and his WSO, 1st Lt. Tom Lamply banking hard left over the entrance of the Dong Hoi river on the coast of the Gulf of Tonkin in their mighty F-4E. After a first tour as Misty#67 in the F-100F, "Rosie is returning to the PAC in his Phantom for a second tour.
They both survived Vietnam with Ross retiring as a General and Tom a Colonel. Ross wrote an exceptionally good book about his adventures as a Misty and Laredo pilot in his book THE GREAT MUCKROCK AND ROSIE , published by Abbott Press and can be seen at www.thegreatmuckrockandrosie.com. It is a wonderful book and you get a glimpse inside the heart of a man doing a tough job in war.
