À propos des auteurs

John Gargus, Colonel, USAF (retired), was a planner of the Son Tay Raid and a navigator aboard the MC-130 Cherry Two, leading the strike force to the POW camp. He has given innumerable speeches about the raid, including many with Lt. Gen. LeRoy Manor, Colonel Bull Simons, and other luminaries of that iconic special ops mission. Born in Czechoslovakia, he was smuggled by his parents at the age of 15 from that Soviet-dominated country behind the Iron Curtain to live with relatives in America. He is the author of the 2007 book, The Son Tay Raid: American POWs in Vietnam Were Not Forgotten, arguably the most detailed and authoritative book on the topic.

Cliff Westbrook, a 1988 graduate of the US Air Force Academy and a pilot of the B-1 bomber, is the son of Clyde 'Neal' Westbrook, theAircraft Commander of Lime 2 during the Son Tay Raid. As a member of the Son Tay Raid Association, Cliff has interviewed numerous Raiders and helped gather the historical behind-the-scenes facts, including a complete compilation of the radio channels (air & ground) recorded during the Son Tay Raid. Cliff co-authored Who Will Go: Into the Son Tay POW Camp with Terry Buckler. He also co-authored Jakovenko: From the Steppes of Ukraine to the US Army Ranger Hall of Fame with Vladimir Jakovenko.
