Vietnam: The Helicopter War

A great collection of tid bits, with a few rare photos, too

Unique compilation of helicopter operations stories covering the entire period of the US involvement in SEA the '60-'70s. The British author solicited these accounts and photos from veteran aviators who drew them from their memories and provided photos from their personal collections - most photos never seen before as they are not from military files. These are are real, no BS, accounts of what it was like to serve in Army, Navy, Air Force and Marine helicoper units in the complex and challenging conditions which made up the US effort to assist the nation of South Vietnam. Numerous short story accounts detailing thrills, terror, humor and pathos which made up the daily lives of military helcopter pilots in Southeast Asia. Great photos of every type helicopter flown in that theater.
