He retired a highly-decorated colonel in 1968 with numerous awards and the highest Air Force service decoration for heroism, the presidentially-awarded Air Force Cross. In the 1950s, he led the Air Force's Thunderbirds in acrobatics. In addition to an autobiography, he authored two books, including this one, based on his service in the Vietnam War, which were highly critical of its direction and the rules of engagement. His inscription in this book to Fred Platt reads: To my friend Fred Platt with sincere admiration, Jack Broughton. He flew 745 combat missions in a clandestine operation known as the Ravens Program, Project 404. He was shot down 11 times, earning him the nickname, Magnet Ass. Many years later after retiring from the US Air Force, he served as post commander, China Post 1 (2000 -2016), one of the oldest American Legion Posts in the world.
