Bullwhip 26 - Vietnam War memoir by John Stiles

Bullwhip 26 follows the journey of a rookie airman, John Stiles, flying reconnaissance missions during the Vietnam War. Despite being shot down, ejecting from his plane, and escaping through enemy territory, surviving deadly missions left him feeling bulletproof. To leave the war and its haunting memories behind, he locked them away in silence.

Thirty-six years after his rescue, his phone rang: "John, I think I know what happened to you in January 1972. I met the MiG pilot who shot you down. He wants to meet you." Facing his past and finding the truth becomes a test of faith, character, and endurance — one that brings reconciliation with his former adversary and peace to himself.
