Hero Found: The Greatest POW Escape of the Vietnam War by Bruce Henderson

February 1966, Dieter Dengler is shot down over Laos. "He knew the locals would come looking for him. The sound of the crash had been thunderous, and those huts he had seen were only a short distance away. He rose to his feet, and 'stumbling and falling like a drunkard' he moved as quickly as he could through the clearing toward the jungle."
Read about the life of Dieter Dengler, from his early life in Germany during World War II, to his new life in America in 1957, where he joined the Air Force, attended college, then joined the Navy, learned to fly, crashed and led a daring escape with several other prisoners to North Vietnam where they were rescued. The author, Bruce Henderson, served with Dengler aboard the USS Ranger and brings new material to this fascinating story about a true hero during the Vietnam War.
