Air America
(5 Part Serial)
                                                                                                  Joe      
This is a five part serial presented by MR Joe Hennessy. 
It was first published in 
the LFC Newsletter in the months May to September of 2000, as an historical account of the time when Joe worked with Air America in the 1960s.

Joe was an Air America Operations Manager and he was based in Udorn, Thailand.

The University of Texas in Dallas, USA, requested a copy of the LFC Newsletter which they now have on file and they have archived the Air America content for use as a research document in the University's McDermot Library. 

The series was also the research base for chapter 12 of the 2009 published book  "Vietnam, the Irish experience"  written by James Durney.
