The Airmen #1-3
Airmen Box Set: Books 1-3
“Expertly blending fictional characters and real people, David Lee Corley [presents] a historical novel that reads like a modern political thriller, full of exciting action, larger-than-life characters, and unforgettable events.” – Kirkus Reviews
Hanoi 1953. A French general launches a daring plan to end the Indochina war in victory. He parachutes 15,000 of his best troops into the northern highlands of Vietnam as bait. His hope is that the enemy commander will not lose heart and attack the French garrison in one last decisive battle of strategy and military might.
He could not be more wrong…
Tom Coyle is an American pilot flying for the French air force. No combat; just cargo is what his contract reads. He has fought in three wars and is not looking for a fourth.
Coyle’s life is turned upside down when he meets Brigitte Friang, a French war correspondent willing to risk all for a story that will make her a legend. As their romance blossoms, Brigitte makes a fatal decision and jumps with the French paratroopers into the valley where they will await the Viet Minh forces that vastly outnumber them.
We Stand Alone is an epic tale based on the true events of history’s longest battle in a forgotten war – The Siege at Dien Bien Phu. It’s the story of the courageous men and women that fight and die for their nation. For freedom.

About the author
David Lee Corley
75 books48 followersI am a Hollywood screenwriter turned novelist. I am also a nomad.
Four years ago, I sold or gave away just about everything I owned and set myself adrift in the world. I lived out of my backpack and circumnavigated the earth three times. My journey has changed me and I am strangely unafraid. I have no plans to end my quest to see far corners of our planet. I figure life will take care of itself.
It has been a wild ride. I search for great stories and characters as I travel, many of which end up in my novels. I hope you enjoy them as much as I enjoyed writing them.
I am still a nomad.
