The Knoxville Public Library is hosting Knoxville High School alumnus Col. Dennis M. (Mike) Ridnouer today as he presents his new book, The Vietnam Air War: From the Cockpit.

This is the second consecutive year Ridnouer has presented his writing at the library, as last year he presented his first book, The Vietnam Air War: First Person. Ridnouer tells KNIA/KRLS News coming back to Knoxville last year meant a lot to him because he expected about 10 people to be at the event, but around 85 of his former classmates and friends showed up, had a great discussion, and made him want to come back and do it again. The presentation will take place this evening from 5-7pm.
