March 1968. The bombing of North Vietnam continues.
U.S. Navy Lieutenant Jake Caffey and his bombardier/navigator—and cousin—Sam Hunter fly a dangerous mission over North Vietnam. When their A-6 Intruder is struck by a missile, both men are forced to eject into enemy territory.
Jake survives.
Sam is captured.
Now Jake faces an impossible choice: escape to safety—or go after the only family member he has left.
Disguised as a North Vietnamese fisherman, Jake slips deeper into enemy territory, following the trail of captured American prisoners toward Hanoi. His mission soon becomes something far more dangerous than survival. To bring Sam home, Jake must infiltrate one of the most heavily defended cities in North Vietnam, find the prisoners, and somehow get them out.
But Jake is not the only one hunting.
Phạm, a determined North Vietnamese officer, has been assigned to find the American who has disappeared behind enemy lines. As Jake moves closer to Hanoi, Phạm closes in.
From the cockpit of a Navy A-6 Intruder to the streets and waterways of North Vietnam, Call Sign: Blackjack – Escape from Hanoi is a tense military thriller of courage, survival, and an impossible rescue.
