Across the Mekong: The True Story of an Air America Helicopter Pilot
"Across the Mekong" depicts missions transporting troops, supplies, and refugees, rescuing downed pilots, while describing the sometimes crude living conditions, fears, and hazards that the author experienced while flying for Air America. --Air Line Pilot Magazine, September 1997A fascinating view of the Civil War in Laos.  This book cast a brilliant light upon Air America's involvement. When Davis describes the taste of fear, you will find yourself squirming in your seat.  He has obviously spent years reading good literature.  It's reflected in beautiful prose which he spices with self-deprecating humor, and the philosphy and figures of speach of his rural Tennessee roots.   --Felix Smith, AuthorA very interesting and well written account of the involvement of Air America in the wars of Southeast Asia. --The Retired Officer MagazineCharles Davis provides a deeply personal view of life as an Air America pilot...the book is a must read for all Air America wannabe types.  Highly recommend. --Air America Log Book ReviewIn his book "Across the Mekong," Charlie Davis describes one of his associates as having "the demeanor of a man who has slept well and does not owe too much money."  That description could be applied to Davis himself.His recently published book, is in a unique style and is full of humor and descriptive prose.  His style and sense of detail, make an interesting and enjoyable read and will add to the readers knowledge of the secret war in Laos.   --Alexandria Gazette Packet, January 16, 1997
