Easy Target
At my brother’s interment in Keene New York last year, there was a small Honor Guard from the local American Legion chapter, and I went over to thank them individually. One of the rifleman was a slight man wearing US Army wings and a 1st Cav patch on his uniform shirt. Name is Tom Smith. He had a very polite and reserved manner about him. We had a chat, and found out later he had written a book about his experiences. It is available on Amazon and is a well written and accurate tale of flying the OH-6 scout. If you have read Chickenhawk or To The Limit, you have the general idea of the situation flying the UH-1 in Vietnam. This book does the same for the very, very different missions required of the Scout. The book is entitled “ Easy Target “ and it is clear that in his earlier life, Tom Smith lived on the edge. If you read this exciting account, you may well think that is a gross understatement.
