I have read this book in double digits now. First read it in the mid eighties on exercise in West Germany – found it in the back of a landrover. It inspired me to become a helicopter pilot – I always knew there was something I liked about flying but this book brought it firmly into focus for me. Took me a while but I managed it.
He sure can capture what it means to fly and get it on paper – and judging by the Vietnam pilots comments he got the flying in combat bits right too.
