One Trip Too Many - A Pilot's Memoirs of 38 Months in Combat Over Laos and Vietnam

By: Wayne Warner

Narrated by: Virtual Voice

One Trip Too Many, A Pilot’s Memoirs of 38 Months in Combat over Laos and Vietnam, is an autobiography about my life as a pilot in Southeast Asia during the conflict in Vietnam. It is primarily a story to share with family and friends about my personal involvement in the conflict and the turbulent decade of the 60s and does not attempt to question the politics of the era. It begins with a brief description of my quest to gain admittance to the United States Air Force Academy, my four years at the Academy, and the subsequent year of pilot training. I flew three different types of aircraft in combat and the book provides insight into the training that took place for the C-130 Hercules, the F-105 Thunderchief, and the A-1 Skyraider. Each of the three tours in combat over Laos and Vietnam is described with emphasis on the more memorable flights including a bailout in the A-1 and the final crash on takeoff that ended my active duty Air Force career. My time in various hospitals is described at the end of the book and the epilogue tells briefly of my life after retirement from the United States Air Force. The book has been described as a combination of Band of Brothers, Top Gun, and Forrest Gump.

Great story, but the reading was horrible.

This is worth the read, but the machine reading is really bad. Calling migs meeges, is just one example that was very distracting.

Great details, make the story come to life!

riveting stories...great details loved the action descriptions.., Flights... all of it thank you so much !!

great read...felt bad at the end..heroic pilot..forced to settle in later life

amazing story very interesting computer audio was good too. so what if the virtual audio said meeeges instead of Migs. we all knew what he meant..reading was better than some of the human readers I have hesrd

stupid robot

The story was great, the narration not so much. MiGs are pronounced MEEGEES. The 57mm AAA gun is prounounced 57 100ths Millimeter. C-130 is the C onehundredthirty , USAF is yousaf. These are some of the adventures in robot reading.

The story was good, and the Thai who could see the future was weird.

One too many

I liked this book. The story line was very good. I have read many books on the Vietnam war and this one is one of the better ones. The virtual voice was a disservice to the author's story. The many mispronunciations were distracting and out right pathetic. I would buy this, but not with the virtual voice narration. Meegess (Migs?) and many other problems. Chapter 12 was not in the table of contents. I would not recommend this audible book. Buy the print version of the book instead.
