Roger's book "MiGs Over North Vietnam" is a controversial work, presenting for the first time the air war from the point of view of the VPAF. All accounts have been taken from exclusive interviews with former North Vietnamese pilots, whose claims frequently contradict those of American and South Vietnamese aircrew. It has sparked much debate particularly with researchers who have, until now, relied almost exclusively on American sources.
