Dennis Busch Writes About His Experiences as a Psychological Warfare Pilot During the Vietnam War

Finally, a humorous true story about events that took place during the Vietnam War. “Psywarrior” is a firsthand account of a young pilot’s year-long tour in the latter years of the most unpopular war in American history.

You’ll be amazed at just how much trouble an insolent airman gets into when provided with the use of an airplane six days a week, a random grunt for a crew, a mission of dubious importance, minimal risk, and half of South Vietnam for his playground. The sky is literally the limit. You see, not every Air Force pilot’s experience was filled with perilous bombing missions over Hanoi, or vicious dogfights over the skies of the Red River Valley, or even gutsy exfiltrations of a downed pilot in the midst of the pursuing enemy. No, there were other airborne tasks that had to be done as well – in this case, a mission that you probably never heard of, and what could best be described as “Well, somebody had to do it!”.

This coming-of-age memoir is all about the misadventures of a young impertinent air-warrior in Vietnam. So, set aside all of the misconceptions you have been taught about that war and enjoy a good tale. Picture that you are in a bar and enjoying a brew, but are bored, and you have nothing else to occupy your time, so you ask your new friend to tell you about his adventures in the Vietnam War.

“Psywarrior” will never go down in the annals of great American heroism; there is NO blood, NO guts, NO glory, certainly NO heraldry. There is NO fury, but strangely a great deal of sound, and it all signifies nothing. Warriors in Valhalla will not stand up and cheer for this adventure, but they will get a good laugh and so will you.

Catch this delightful memoir as it joins the upcoming 2019 Los Angeles Times Festival of Books. The literary celebration happens on April 13-14, 2019 at the University of Southern California. So, don’t miss it.
