At the height of one of the most controversial conflicts of the twentieth century, Australian airmen carved out a remarkable chapter of military history over the jungles and rice paddies of Vietnam. Target Charlie chronicles the full and gripping story of Australia's air war in Vietnam, detailing the operations, aircraft, and the men who flew them — from the Canberra bombers of No. 2 Squadron to the helicopter crews who braved relentless ground fire on combat assault missions. Steve Eather brings rigorous research and a commanding narrative style to this account, drawing on operational records and first-hand testimonies to reconstruct the intensity of aerial combat and the strategic pressures that shaped Australian involvement. The result is a vivid, authoritative portrait of courage under fire that raises enduring questions about duty, alliance, and the human cost of war — leaving the reader to wonder at the extraordinary resilience of those who answered the call.
