Bio 

I am a retired AF officer and retired history professor with three books on the air war in Vietnam. I am currently writing a novel titled "SAR: Back to the Home Where I Belong." It's set at Udorn, 1970-71. Need to know the time it took to transition from flight training to F-4s in 1969/1970 and base where this took place. Also, where did OSI train agents?
