US Helicopter Pilot in Vietnam
Manufacture Product Number : OSP-W128 The helicopter changed war forever. This book examines the range of duties helicopter pilots carried out in Vietnam, from air-lift, med-evac, and fire-support to landing in high volume crossfires in “Hot LZs." Protected by little more than an armored seat, operating in terrible conditions, and flying long hours these brave men led hard, dangerous lives, and casualties were high. Following these pilots from initial deployment through to the deadly thrill of combat in a war zone, Vietnam veteran Gordon L. Rottman’s book is a crucial examination of the pilots who fought so valiantly for their country. Often unmoved by the politics of the war, conflicts at home, and other social issues, the Vietnam helicopter pilots just wanted to fly. As the saying went “who needs drugs, I'm already high." |
