The Adventures of Benny Bell by Ray Carpenter PDF Summary

Book Description: My novel, titled "Operation Sting," is based on a CIA sanctioned mission involving a military and civilian comprised A-Team in Southeast Asia in 1963, prior to the official start of the Vietnam War. The story evolves from a flashback dream of one of the A-Team members (David Roberts) and he ends up telling his wife the story of what happened 24 years earlier. Up to that point his wife had no idea that he had ever been in Vietnam. The story is told, as seen through the eyes of a 20 year old young man who is above average in intelligence, but very much a naive person who puts blind trust in "the system" that truth always wins in the long run. Prior to becoming involved with this mission David was constantly in search of some daring type of assignment, such as volunteering for an inter-service transfer to become an Army helicopter pilot. Much of this desire for adventure stemmed from the fact that his father always belittled him and insinuated that he would never amount to much. Consequently, David was searching for something he could accomplish which would make his father proud of him. David was assigned to a squadron of personnel who traveled extensively around the United States, Canada, Mexico, and Panama installing and modifying heavy ground early warning radar manned by the Air Force. Due to the fact that he did travel extensively, he had a great cover story without having to create one, because his wife was used to him taking off on the spur of the moment and being gone for extended periods of time. His initial contact with the CIA resulted from a conversation with a FBI agent whom he met while on travel to a radar site in Minnesota. David was flown to Washington DC for a physical, including a psychological evaluation, and given a brief description of the mission. David decided he would like to pursue the opportunity and from that point on he was hooked. All of the team members were provided with false identities and told not to discuss their true identities with anyone, including the other team members. They were told this was a security issue, that in the event that they were captured during the mission, they would not be able to readily identify each other. They were also encouraged not to be captured. His training took place in several different locations and involved Special Forces training in various forms such as parachute training, survival training, language training, hand-to-hand combat, explosives, and small arms training. The story describes the training, which took place with no indication of where the final mission would be conducted. The training was always being accelerated to accommodate the changing timetable associated with the mission. Even during the training, some bizarre things happen which seems to carry on throughout the story line - one SNAFU after another. From there, the story moves to the actual mission and the subsequent debacle. Even the trip from the states to Saigon is somewhat an adventure with regard to the routes taken, weather, and aircraft problems. Once the team reaches Saigon, the real problems are just beginning. It is discovered just prior to takeoff that the team has been issued the wrong equipment, which had to be corrected very quickly. The obvious equipment is exchanged, but subtle omissions are not discovered until much later. The team leader is informed that the Vietnamese person who is to accompany the team may be a double agent, but someone in authority commands the mission progress as planned. The mission is doomed from that point on, beginning with the loss of the radio and radioman due to an apparent faulty parachute. When the team reaches their objective and are about to launch their intended mission, they are greeted by a mu
