Even if Chicken Hawk was just a collection of stories (or not?) that wouldn't stop it being a terrific read, and a very well informed and written book.
I knew one pilot who wanted to try the "Spinning around in a Field" trick after reading it!
After I read it, I often thought of what it might have been like on those missions, as I flew many times in a -1H, but no in combat!
A good tribute even if it turns out to be a composite story.
