"It is 1969 and Dick Diller is on his way to flying warplanes in the Vietnam conflict. He is commissioned to fly A-1 Sky Raiders and sometimes harrowing night time missions over Laos - surviving not only the danger of the missions he flew, but also the bureaucracy of the Air Force from fitness testing to additional duties assigned, to attacking impossible to find targets in the dead of night with minimal fuel supplies

Is at once entertaining and riveting as well as thought-provoking, Firefly is the story of one man's journey in a world at war, and the day-to-day description of the fighting force that was flying A1 Sky Raiders in combat. Firefly contains actual transcriptions of dialogue of pilots locating a target and making a strike in Northern Laos".
