Lost Allegiance (Airmen Series Book 26)

He refused an order. His wingman didn't.

Over the mountains of Laos, two North Vietnamese pilots are ordered to shoot down the man who taught them both to fly. One of them fires. The other requests asylum on the emergency frequency — and is ordered destroyed by his closest friend.

They gun each other out of the sky and come down four kilometers apart.

At Nakhon Phanom, Jolly Green Two-Two is tasked to bring the defector out. Pararescueman Danny Archer has eight months in the job and one question: is he alive, and is he hurt. His crew has a different one — whether seven Americans are worth a traitor.

Neither of them is asking the right question. The defector won't leave without the man who was sent to kill him.

Two pilots. One helicopter that can't carry a war. And a colonel on the other side who has read the American rescue manual more carefully than the men who wrote it.
