Paperbacks or Novels ???

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

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.



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