The Rescue of Boxer 22 by Jeffrey A. Chunglo is a powerful true story of courage, sacrifice, and brotherhood set during the Vietnam War. Based on declassified military documents, eyewitness accounts, and extensive research, this book chronicles the dramatic events surrounding the downing of "Boxer 22," an F-4 Phantom shot down over Laos on December 5, 1969. What followed was the largest and most dangerous combat search and rescue mission in United States Air Force history-a 51-hour operation that tested every limit of endurance, loyalty, and faith.
Through vivid storytelling and careful documentation, Chunglo brings to life the experiences of Captain Benjamin Danielson, Lieutenant Woodrow "Woody" Bergeron, and the brave airmen who risked everything to bring their fellow service members home. The book not only captures the tension and danger of the mission but also explores the humanity, emotion, and valor of those involved.
The Rescue of Boxer 22 serves as a tribute to the countless men and women who served in Vietnam and to those who continue to live by the creed, "These things we do, that others may live." It is a compelling reminder of duty, honor, and the enduring bond between those who serve.
