Dead Men Flying, A Remembrance : Going to War in the A-4 - Rolling Thunder over Hanoi
A masterpiece of becoming an aerial warriorReview by Stephen Coonts, author of Flight of the Intruder and fifteen other New York Times Best Sellers.(July 23, 2022, Amazon Books This personal "Remembrance" [of the Vietnam War] stands head and shoulders above all those that I have read, which is a bunch. Mike Mullane was an A-4 pilot in VA-164 aboard USS ORISKANY during his 1967-'68 cruise, and USS HANCOCK during the 1968-1969 cruise. From college boy to seasoned attack pilot, Mike tells it like it was with an understanding that hindsight sometimes gives the most sensitive and perceptive. He came out of the war with a case of PTSD that he wrestled with for many years until he finally got help. . . .[Dead Men Flying, a Remembrance] should be required reading for all current military aviators and all those to come. THIS IS WHAT IT TAKES.
Review by Tom Beard (February 2022), Military Writers Society of AmericaDead Men Flying’s [descriptions of] ... wartime missions flown in the Skyhawk and trials experienced by their pilots are as real as any ever revealed in the written word.
"None of us will survive.".The arithmetic was inescapable. The squadron started with twelve A-4E Skyhawks and twenty-two pilots. After seven days, it had eight aircraft and nineteen pilots. He had over one hundred days to go. He would never see home again. Dead Men Flying is an honest, unflinching account of how Mike, the college kid, became a warrior called “Mule.” It tells of his struggles to become a Naval Aviator. He masters the skills necessary to launch and land a jet fighter bomber on an aircraft carrier. He experiences the transforming state of being when his aircraft merges with his body and becomes an extension of his will; a place where time slows to a crawl; sensory awareness extends to the horizon; and thoughts flash faster than the flick of an eyelid. Within the squadron he develops the bonds of brotherhood that are forged when the pilots must trust each other with their lives. Flying mission after mission into the heart of the North Vietnamese defenses, he pays the cost when death shatters those bonds.
The descriptions of combat are immediate and immersive. They envelop the reader in the perishable art of aerial warfare, a ballet performed out of sight and mind of all but the few who were there. The descriptions are enhanced with more than seventy photographs, many taken during combat.
Dead Men Flying is the story of men tested to the breaking point and beyond by unrelenting threat and losses. It tells how they stood together with unflinching resilience, courage, devotion, and sacrifice.
The author flew 212 combat missions with the Ghost Riders of Attack Squadron 164 over two cruises between June, 1967 and February, 1969.

This is a very good book on a pilots view of flying Skyhawk attack aircraft off of the carrier Oriskany during the Vietnam war. He covers his early navy career, including time in boot camp and his flight instruction. Then he takes us in detail through his first cruise on the Carrier and how he had to cope with the numerous losses that his squadron experienced while in combat. His targets were mainly in the Hanoi or Haiphong area, always heavily defended.
The book kind of ends suddenly, he just devotes a few pages to his final cruise. He does however make it clear that this time the were mainly attacking targets further south, and thus less defended. So, I guess it was less memorable.
The author is very honest. He clearly didn’t care that much for his first wife. He repeatedly told her not to meet him in any port they went too, although other pilots had their wives come out to meet them. The author preferred the company of whores, and strong drink. But, he was a sailor on liberty, and I can get that.
It also appears that this book was a way to vent, and erase the demons that apparently have haunted him over the years. Overall, a good book that once again shows how absolutely useless the Vietnam War was, and how much suffering this conflict inflicted on everyone involved.

Riveting account of a gut-wrenching experience.
Unique and devastating prose about facing the varied demons and almost certain death that the gentlemen warriors of the famed "Bloody Sixteenth" endured. Tragedy, courage and terror are terms that fall far short of describing these human capacities. That knowledge is starkly revealed by the squadron's stories. The pages of this book turn themselves as easily as they can alter your appreciation of your fellow man. The author is unforgiving in self-assessment and relentless in portraying a vast landscape of loss and brotherhood. It is almost too well-written. It's more of an experience than a book, and an enlightening one at that. In my humble opinion this book is an adjunct to the literature of intellectual existentialism in general. Very hard work went into this book. Unfortunately, not just a few lives as well. By this author's contribution we may profit from all this.

Excellent read. Mr Mullane is brutally honest about his emotions during his two tours in the A-4 on Yankee Station. The deaths of his shipmates/fellow pilots doesn't lend to mourning in his fast paced world. The reasons he presents are understandable as a self protection mechanism. The flying he describes caused me to get sweaty palms more than once. His writing style is perfect for the story he tells. As a former military fighter pilot I really appreciate the exhilaration, the anger, the angst and the frustration. I highly recommend the book, pilot or not, as a study in dealing with difficult activities in one's life.

Five stars is not enough. This book goes beyond "virtual reality" in terms of what it was like to fly combat missions from a carrier during the Vietnam war. It takes you into the heart, mind and soul of a young human being who has just completed training to go and do just that. As a retired airline pilot I understood all of the technical "talk", and although I have always admired my naval brothers flying skills, I never stopped to consider the mental and emotional toll day in and day out. Night in and night out. Being shot at by anything and everything imaginable, surviving, and then landing on a carrier in the pitch black night. Learning the fate of one of your brothers. And then doing it all over again, and again and again.
These young men were always heroes in my book. I never stopped to consider the toll it took or the price that these men paid. Author Mullane has gifted us a brilliant memoir.

Mr. Mullane and I shared the flight deck for over seven months, he piloting an A-4 Skyhawk and me readying RF-8G Crusader photo recce aircraft for departure to combat zone, North Vietnam. His job was to curb the Communist invasion of South Vietnam by way of death and destruction. My squadron's job was to take pretty pictures for targeting future bombing raids and also pictures after the fact for Bomb Damage Assessment (BDA). In the Navy there's an acronym for everything.
Mr. Mullane's job was much more nerve-wracking and grievous than mine. He faced a dance with death on every launch and suffered the pain of losing friends by way of anti-aircraft artillery (AAA), surface-to-air (SAM) missiles, Artem Mikoyan and Mikhail Gurevich (MiG) Russian-made fighter jets and those damned procedural accidents. Our losses on that 1967-68 USS Oriskany (CVA-34)/ Air Wing 16 (CVW-16) deployment cruise were so heavy, pilots from other squadrons on other carriers began calling us "Bloody Sixteen." Final stats, according to Mullane, his call name "Mule", was 122 days of action, over 9,500 missions, including 181 Alfa Strikes, most into the Hanoi-Haiphong defense complex. One-third of Air Wing 16 pilots were casualties and we lost over half of our aircraft.
The Grim Reaper was so up-close and personal, Mullane began referring to him as "Brother Death." The mental process by which Mule Mullane accepts the probability of dying (of himself and others) and manages to remain sharp in almost daily combat is a phenomenon understood by veterans of such warfare... and very few others. Keeping such emotions in a compartmentalized bubble lessens the anguish, allowing for an appearance of normalcy but as aging veterans often discover, around the age of 40-50, they need help coping because haunting memories refuse to vanish. That's what I carry away from Mullane's recollection of what we experienced in the Tonkin Gulf a half century ago, him in the air, me on the flight deck. God bless you, sir. God bless all the US Veterans of war.

Written by one of the pilots flying off the Oriskany during multiple deployment to Vietnam with the mission to interdict North Vietnam's ability to infiltrate the south. Extremely personal, the author takes you into the hearts of those who risk their lives every time they strap into an A-4 Skyhawk. During several of the deployment tragedy occurs almost every day, with experienced and well respected pilots lost to ground fire (AAA) or SAM supplied by then the Soviet Union.
Personal in every way, the writer and pilot of an A-4 takes into the heart of darkness of flying perhaps the most dangerous missions over Vietnam. It should be mentioned, the Navy flew hundreds of missions, Many pilots were 200 mission or more over Vietnam. US Air Force who flew the F-105 were returned home after 100 missions. All extremely brave men who for many was their last time on the "stick". We appreciated and honor their service and sacrifice. 05/11A US Army

I found Dead Men Flying to be an extraordinary book that delivered more, much more than I expected.
If you like to be embraced by an author’s style, taken into their confidence as though it’s just the two of you in the room, and then taken on a journey with them as though a close confidante, sharing their adventures, highs, lows, loves, loss, and redemption, Dead Men Flying is a standout. It is tightly written, a unique and skilled blend of matter-of-fact prose, vivid imagery, wit, personal asides, poetry, insight, and patience to keep the reader engaged and up to speed. Mike Mullane was a courageous warrior. His courage in revealing his humanity makes him a hero. From a vastly different and much less risky walk of life, in learning about Mike, I have learned a lot about myself.

Enjoyable reading. Mr. Mullane's tale is an easy read. It flows easily, if you like planes or flying, or aircraft mechanic or just like aviation you will truly get a kick out of his writing style. When he goes down his pre-launch checklists or other thought sequences they are like a list and you fly down it, imagining doing it yourself. Anyone that has driven a bird knows this part of flying. Mr. Mullane's PTSD experience, encapsulated, barely touched on, and buried emotionally, repeatedly throughout the prose reminds the reader that even the most honorable, patriotic, exceptional, skilled and highly trained man can be affected by the crushing losses one endures in combat, and the instant & permanent loss of friends & buddies. Thank you for writing this book. And for your other thoughts about POW's & bone spurs. The difference between those two couldn't be greater, a hero and a fraud.

A story that changed my perspective
My Vietnam was 22 months as a Marine infantryman. We always appreciated what the "Airdales" did for us, but we assumed it was easier for them because they got three hot meals a day and slept in a real bed. Mike's story gave me a better insight into what it was like for them. His well-written stories of combat on the Yankee Station made me understand that he and his fellow pilots shared many of the hardships we grunts faced. This is a real war story and I recommend it for anyone who wants insight to what combat is like.

This is a really good book. Based on the second half of it I would give it 5 stars, but it started slowly for me. I am a little overwhelmed by the loss that young men have incurred by being tossed into combat at such a young age. They have to deal with death and loss, and being scared to death all of the time. Mike Mullane was a warrior in a squadron of warriors. War is such a waste. I recommend this book, but if you read it you must read the names in the back that the author asks you to. It is the least a thankful people can do for those who fight so that we don’t have to.

Superb
I have been an aviation nut for 50 years, and few quality books have escaped my attention. Dead Men Flying is one of the very best I have ever read. It has to be in the top five along with august company like Jack Broughton's Thud Ridge and Earl McGill's Jet Age Man. Author Mullane does a fantastic job of putting you in the cockpit of a scooter jet for some of the most terrifying missions ever flown by anyone, anywhere. I know I am going to read this book again many times.

Terrifying and Honest
I always wanted to be a Navy pilot but because my left eye was not 20/20 I could not fly. After reading this realistic, honest and terrifying book am thankful for my defective vision. Michael thanks for taking the time to put words to paper of how difficult your life was and is. Thanks. As a submarine officer I spent quite a few nights at Cubi Point and could feel some of the emotions you describe in the pilots at the bar.

October 9, 2022This Vietnam memoir had more soul than nearly anything I've ever read, other than Miralantes. As more pilots and airmen from Mullane's squadron are killed, we feel his desperation, followed by emotional close-down. I also appreciated the intense degree of description. It's almost a how-to of flying and bombing, making it super-vivid. Not least, and not typical of military memoirs-- the writing is excellent. If you want to understand PTSD, this book is a must.

Fly as copilot with Naval Aviators
Mike “Mule” takes you step by step from Flight School thru combat. You look over his shoulder at his instruments, hear flight deck operations, small the oxygen, sweat and diesel .
You are his shadow 24/7. You feel his anxiety. His fear scares you. As his shadow , you are wrapped in his devotion, skill, and fighting spirit. Somewhere along his journey, you, too, feel you have earned your wings. This page turner makes you gasp for relief.

An honest story of one man's journey thru war!!
I was really captured by the vivid details that Mike conveyed in this book. The detail was fascinating and held my interest through out his story. Its just hard to process what some of these men went thru, and yet were able to deal with it all. Thanks Mike for your service, devotion, dedication and journey to recovery. A very "Slow Salute" for your service and your story!

A well thought out and put to the written word
I am a pilot and can identify with flying stories. I cannot recall a book that I have read that really touched me as this one. As a soul wrenching one that I have ever read. Not only for the flying but the emotional way it affected the author.

Interesting and reflective
A deeply personal remembrance of the Vietnam War told from the viewpoint of an A-4 pilots perspective. 1967 - 1969 were some of the most intense air strikes against North Vietnam and (like every other combat speciality) our pilots were flying more missions than ever before. A perfect recipe for PTSD.

Useless war
As it was then and repeated today. What will it take to wake up our citizens that our Gov cannot make sound decisions for any one but save their ego. Haven't these men and those before them paid enough. The memories should stand as a reminder to all there has to be a better way

Heartbreaking but Excellent book
Mule, this was a well written book by someone that’s been there and has “seen the elephant.” What a shame to waste all of those lives while the politicians played games.

This is one deep and incredible book of one navy aviator ( mule ). He has joined many of the veterans in my heart from the Vietnam era. Only few can tell their stories of life experiences and relay to the readers the inner feelings they have.

As an Air Force pilot in Vietnam I watched the air war closely and could only imagine what Navy pilots were going through, day after day. Dead Men Flying captures the real impact of the war and what we ask of our servicemen. We’ll done Mule!

An interesting story of the US Navy’s role in the air war over Vietnam. Tales of life aboard a US Navy carrier and stories of courage aboard the A-4 Skyhawk aircraft that launched from her and hopefully returned after each dangerous mission in the skies over North Vietnam.

I don't think I like this guy much. As he says... a sociopath. Perhaps that war the French left for us made him that way. Maybe he was what was needed.

Good read. Very well written and factual. Highly recommended this book if you're old enough to remember those days. Memories from a warrior.

Beautiful writing on an intense experience. The craftwork, the stylistic choices, really put you there, show you what it was like for him.
