Description

Explore a hidden chapter of military history with Fly Until You Die: An Oral History of Hmong Pilots in the Vietnam War. Published by Oxford University Press, this book examines the covert "Water Pump" project that began in 1964. Operating out of Udorn Airbase in Thailand with CIA support, the US Air Force secretly trained pilots from Laos to bolster the Royal Lao Air Force and support war efforts while skirting Lao neutrality. This narrative focuses on the Hmong ethnic minority, a marginalized group from the Vietnam-border region who took immense risks to join this clandestine mission. The text details how dozens of Hmong men trained at Water Pump to provide vital air support to the US-sponsored army in Laos. This oral history provides a direct look at the people who flew during the Secret War, offering a perspective on the high-stakes aerial operations that defined this era of the Vietnam War.
