As most of you here have the same affliction as myself, that being can't get enough of Helicopters.
I thought I would drawer upon your knowledge of good Helicopter novels or paperbacks.

I know of Rattler One Seven, Chickenhawk, Pucker Factor 10.
If anybody suggest or recommend any others, I'd be very thankful.

Regards

"Low Level Hell" by Lt. Col. Hugh Mills

I recall hearing of a book in the pipeline by Randy Zahn (ex-Bond Aberdeen) but not sure if was released. By all accounts it was to be THE book about Vietnam helo flying.

Snake Pilot: Flying the Cobra Attack Helicopter in Vietnam
by Randy R. Zahn "The autumn of 1955 was like the other autumns that I could remember in my short life..." (more)


Evidently Randy got his book published.....have not read it but will look for it.

:ok:

A quick google search came up with a website that has quite a list of titles.... aircav.com at their bookstore.

Have a look at 'Shockwave' about the Bushrangers. Many Aussies will even recognise some names in there.

...and i complain about fat seppos and blustery days...don't know i'm born...
