Item Description: I am selling the book ANY TIME, ANY PLACE -- A HISTORY OF USAF AIR COMMANDO AND SPECIAL OPERATIONS FORCES by Philip D. Chinnery, copyright 1994. The book measures approximately 6" x 9-1/2" and is 303 pages long. Both the hardbound book and the dust jacket are in very good condition. This volume was published by the Naval Institute Press. Black-and-white photo sections illustrate the text. <P>The Air Commandos have a history stretching back to the Second World War when the 1st Air Commando Group was formed to support the Britiish General Orde Wingate and his Chindit jungle fighters in Burma. Epitomising the 'can do' attitude of this elite group, the Air Commandos carried out the successful Operation Broadway on 5 March 1944, an airborne invasion of Japanese held Burma which landed thousands of Chindits 200 miles behind enemy lines <P>In this book, the reader will find first hand accounts from the glider pilots who landed deep behind Japanese lines in 1944 and from gun ship crews who flew over the dark jungle of Laos in 1968, hunting for North Vietnamese trucks sneaking down the Ho Chi Minh trail. Read the story of the raid to free the American prisoners of war from Son Tay, deep inside North Vietnam in 1970; share the despair of the air crews at Desert One in 1980 as the mission to rescue the hostages held in the US Embassy in Iran ended amongst the maelstrom of burning aircraft and exploding ammunition. To bring the story fully up to date the author writes about the Gulf War and Special Operations today. <P>If shipping within the USA, buyer will pay $4.00 for media mail s/h. Payment can be made by money order or through PayPal. <P>I sell used books. The items come from many different sources and may have been exposed to pet, smoke or other odors in a previous home.
