Being the one who started this thread I feel that I owe all you guys who have replied with true knowledge and suggestions of other " Good reads" a big thank you for your input.
Reading "Chickenhawk" has been a riviting and might I say an awsome book in the way the detail of flying the UH-1 is written, after the truly great input from Sasless and Nick Lappos, what I was reading seemed all the more real. Very few of us here on PPrune have ever been in the position where nasty people are throwing lead your way so we have never needed to spool up and get up in as many seconds as was suggested in the book but with the help from two of the real gentlemen from the Pprune bunch it seems this was every day life for the guys out in the big green, I am now starting to look for the other titles suggested by many of you and finish by saying... .... Thankyou all.
My regards to you all
Peter Russell-Blackburn
