About this title: A dream team of an accomplished journalist and a military-legend-turned-CNN-analyst brings to life, for the first time, the most dangerous missions flown in the Vietnam War. Misty was the call sign for pilots from a top secret U.S. Air Force unit officially known at the Commando Sabre Operation.Formed in 1967 to find targets along the Ho Chi Minh Trail and interdict the flow of supplies from North to South Vietnam, the missions which the Mistys flew are now considered no less the suicidal.
