Flying Under the Radar: The Men, the Mission, and the Aircraft of the Department of State Air Wing 1983–2013

What an amazing story of a war fought flying under the radar. I was fascinated by the patriotism, comradery, dedication, and talent of these pilots who achieved extraordinary results, with no fanfare or credit. I highly recommend this book to anyone interested in aviation and history- as well as any reader simply interested in understanding the personalities of those who accept the challenges of difficult jobs in difficult situations, despite knowing that they will never receive any recognition for their efforts.

I bought this as an SF Medic Brother from the DoS CSAR Team in A-stan, 2019-2020, told me about it.I was on the team in part for being current with PM licenses and clearances but also from experience dating back to 1996-1997, during the height of the Drug War when we were averaging 3 firefights a week. I just wanted the history since my most recent time wasn't covered in this books period of 30 years. I was surprised to see my name and so many other great Americans' names in it. He did a brilliant job of a comprehensive history, full of facts and details but none of the boring day to day dramas. Very insightful for anyone with an interest in one of our more influential and impactful agencies out there. God Bless America & DOL

Enjoyed this book so much that I ordered additional copies to give as Christmas presents

I like readying first hand accounts of history. I gave this book as a present to a history buff.

Very informative! It paints an amazing picture of a mostly unknown but highly effective gang of aviators and support personnel. Excellent read! Highly recommended!

This book is amazing! The author did a great job telling the stories of this elite group of pilots! I am related to one of the pilots and have had the privilege of meeting the others and hearing their stories first hand.

Paul O'Sullivan has done an amazing job of detailing 30 years of Aviation that few know or think about. For many decades former military aviators have served their country to little fanfare other than duty. Paul brings to light dedication that will continue forever.
