Review by the Association of Naval Aviation, published in the  Fall Edition of Wings of Gold  Magazine

‘This is a story about the aviators who went in harms way big time. ‘At night,’ writes Bryans, ‘Navy all-weather A-6 Intruders went in low and alone.’    A brief excerpt: ‘The SAM that hit their A-6 right after weapons release knocked out everything electrical, set the port engine on fire, and caused the plane to shake like a dice cup.’   Bryans knows his subject. He flew A-6s during the war earning a Silver Star and DFC, and commanded VA-35 aboard USS Nimitz.’ 



‘Those ’67 Blues  is on the level of ‘Flight of the Intruder’ and the ‘Bridges of Toko Ri’. I now have 3 favorite books about our navy at war.’
by John (Toy) Mittell, CDR USN (RET)





‘Bryans captures the tableau of the flight deck as only could be written by one who has seen it from the cockpit. ’
