Tom Combs, a young man from Seattle, faces certain draft induction. He decides upon the United States Air Force as the best choice of service.


Then it's Basic Training, technical school for jet mechanics, assistant crew chief on a C-130 at Dyess AFB, Texas, a stint in the Middle East and eventually, he's assigned to the most prestigious squadron of aircraft in S.E. Asia: The 16th Special Operations Squadron of AC-130s. Call sign: spectre.
