Two airmen go down on opposite sides of a Laotian ridge. Neither has a working beacon. The enemy begins searching before the rescue force knows where to look.
After their RF-4C is shot down during a low-level reconnaissance mission, pilot Hollis Grady and navigator Neil Dupree land miles apart in hostile country. Grady cannot walk. Dupree can move, but his radio has been shattered. Every smart choice they make carries them farther from the places American rescuers expect to find them.
From Nakhon Phanom, Jolly Green rescue crews and Sandy attack pilots search two watersheds while North Vietnamese soldiers close the same ground from below. With time, fuel, weather, and enemy fire working against them, the rescuers must find signs left by men who cannot answer a radio call.
No Beacon is Book 28 in the Airmen series, a Vietnam War novel of combat rescue, survival, and the men who flew into Laos to bring downed airmen home.
Genre: Thriller
