Osprey Warrior 128 - US Helicopter Pilot in Vietnam The helicopter changed war forever. This book examines the range of duties
helicopter pilots carried out in Vietnam, from air-lift, med-evac and
fire-support to landing in high volume crossfires in 'Hot LZs'. Protected by
little more than an armoured seat, operating in terrible conditions and flying
long hours these brave men led hard, dangerous lives, and casualties were high.
Following these pilots from initial deployment through to the deadly thrill of
combat in a war zone, Vietnam veteran Gordon L Rottman's book is a crucial
examination of the pilots who fought so valiantly for their country. Often
unmoved by the politics of the war, conflicts at home and other social issues,
the Vietnam helicopter pilots just wanted to fly. As the saying went 'who needs
drugs, I'm already high'.
