About this book

Beyond the Call of Duty: The Story of an American Hero by Fisher, Bernard. hardcover edition. ISBN: 9781590382479.

Providing close air support to ground troops in Vietnam was hazardous anytime, but on March 10, 1966, the Special Forces in the old French Fortress of Ashau were in particular trouble as the Viet Cong closed in. When an American airman went down, his death was a near certainty. Thats when Major Bernie Fisher had a decision to make: leave the pilot to his fate or undertake a near-suicidal landing to help him out. Bernies decision made him just one of sixteen members in the history of the Air Force to earn the Congressional Medal of Honor.
