Sky Cop TC Brown Returns – S6-E16
About this episode
TC Brown reflects on his return to Taiwan after 53 years and discusses his experiences during the Vietnam War era.
TC Brown returns to Formosa Files – and to Taiwan – after 53 years away. A former U.S. Air Force security policeman stationed at CCK Air Base in Taichung for most of 1968-73, TC reflects on his recent trip back to the island, the Taiwan he remembers from the Vietnam War era, and the Taiwan he found today. John talks with TC about his memoir Made in Taiwan and town patrol in Taichung’s “Dirty Dozen” bar district. We also visit Hualien through Wang Chen-ho’s bawdy novel Rose, Rose, I Love You , one of the few works of fiction to touch on Taiwan’s role in Vietnam War R&R.
