"THE" chopper's book about 'NAM... a must read. 4,5 stars (as it is it would be rated five by amazon.com no matter what because of the huge number of five stars reviews...)
Poignant and to the point even if the last part of the book goes a bit downhill... from a reader point of view.
A must read, but try also FIELDS OF FIRE... and you will see the choppers from "the grunts" perspective too!.
Probably, the best books to read about the VIETNAM WAR.
Vastly detailed as long as choppers are concerned and a page turner at least for 3/4 parts of it.
Cheers

PS: Why say more?... all has already been said... really gutsy guys.
one of the best As a vet of this war, and someone who has read several dozen books on the subject, this is my personal favorite. Just bought this copy for a nephew who has become interested in the history of this conflict. HIghly recommended.
ChickenHawk Best I have read. Must follow up and read the Robert Mason's,
Back to the World. Life After Vietnam.
Huey I should have read this book years ago! American Huey 369 (Americanhuey369.com) stimulated my interest in wanting to know more about the courages soldiers who went to Vietnam and flew helicopters.
Timeless and much to learn I have read this book 3 times. After the first I had it stolen so bought it again. I am fascinated by the history of Vietnam and it's struggles it has much to teach us for the present. I'm not a helicopter pilot, never will be although I too like Mason wanted to fly. Some will have differing recollections of events particularly this one, but that's okay. I was able to lose myself in the story that is expertly told. Having been in close quarter combat I understood where he was coming from. I continue to study and have read some good accounts but this will always remain one of my favourites.
