One More Roll

"We toast our hearty comrades,

now fallen from the sky,

Were gently caught by

God’s own hand

to reign with him on high.

To dwell among the soaring

clouds they knew so well before,

From Victory Roll to Tailchase

at heaven’s very door.

Now, as we fly among them

there, we sadly hear their plea,

Take care, my friend,

Watch your Six…

And do one more roll for me."

Commander Gerald L. "Jerry" Coffee

This site is dedicated to personnel who supported and flew the Forward Air Controller mission, during the war in Southeast Asia and to those who are interested in the mission. It serves as a rallying point and a depository for their stories and their history. They represent several countries, different branches of service, a variety of aircraft, and range in rank from the lowest to the highest.

It was a chancy mission, many gave all, yet the job satisfaction was through the overhead. We welcome all those interested in the mission and the experiences of the Forward Air Controllers. Welcome to our site.
