77. "Doom Pussy" by Elaine Shepard
The DOOM is the Danang Officers' Open Mess and the "Pussy" is the mouth of the cat of death that we "flew into" on missions over the Ho Chi Mihn Trail, North Vietnam, and all of South Vietnam. Doom Pussy was a poorly written chronicle/fiction that actually had the writer, Elaine Shepard, punching out of a B-57 Canberra and being captured by the NVA. Too, too much. I suspect that she, as an accredited journalist, hung around the D.O.O.M. -- as a fighter pilot groupie -- and misunderstood what/whom they were talking about when they joked of the "DOOM Pussy."
