In 1979 I was going on a USAF C-130 ride from Osan Air Base, Korea to Cheju Island ( 2 week US Army; 2nd Infantry Division; Spartan Training -- Basically a mountain repelling course). While in the MAC (USAF -- Military Airlift Command; now known as AMC -- Air Mobility Command) terminal at OSAN AB, I found this book, it was sitting on a table, like someone left it: Vixen 03.
