"""If you ever wanted to know what it's like to fly a helicopter in combat or what goes through the minds of those who do, you have to read this book. Incredible story of an American Hero!"" - Author James Rosone of the Red Storm Series ""Should be a required school read."" - Nomad ""A must read for those who appreciate our nation's warriors"" - AlohaDesert ""While the category is fiction, in reality this is a detailed history of the author's 18 months as a helicopter pilot in Vietnam. It is very detailed, starting out with training and moving on to his deployment. He places the reader in the chopper mission after mission. He describes the other pilots in his unit and makes the book a very interesting read. He identifies a few of the truly incompetent senior officers throughout the book. If you have any interest in helicopter units in Vietnam, this is the book for you."" - Tom (VINE VOICE)"

Author Information

Born into a Navy Submarine Family, I traveled the world as a child. Since I was born in 1947 and until 1993, every three years I moved to a new location as a military brat and as a service member. Enlisted in the Army in 1968 after two worthless years of college and became an Army helicopter pilot serving for 18 months in Vietnam. Was promoted to a commissioned officer while serving in Vietnam and stayed on active duty until 1993. In that time I commanded rifle companies at Fort Lewis Washington and Anchorage Alaska where I commanded an airborne company. Highlight of my career was commanding an air assault infantry battalion during Operation Desert Shield/Storm. The Army sent me back to college to finish my bachelors degree and later working on my own, two master degrees. Once I retired I went into private business and finally retired in 2015. My wife has been with me for 51 years now and I have two sons, both Army officers who rose up through the ranks like their grandfather and me.
