Interesting side story from the book regarding an F-4 (P-38 Lightning photo-reconnaissance variant) flight:
"On one recon foray over northern New Guinea, Polifka, one of the most experienced fliers in-theater, accidentally shut off his oxygen supply at high altitude and passed out. He woke up 43 minutes later flying upside down at 3,000 feet through a valley with towering mountains on either side of his plane."
