Vietnam Helicopter Crew Member Stories

This book is a collection of fascinating short stories, photos, and documents furnished by the heroic and courageous men that served as air or ground crew members in Vietnam. The chopper units were located throughout Vietnam. During the course of the war, we lost at least 5,139 helicopter air crew members and at least 588 ground support crew members. In fact, the true number of helicopter air and ground crew members killed or missing in action will probably never be known. Those crew members accounted for a large percentage of all the enemy killed during the war. Those courageous men were American heroes then and will always be American heroes.

I’ve read numerous books about Vietnam helicopter pilots (of which I was one) but this book (and its companion, Volume 2) relate the stories and experiences of the crewmen – the crew chiefs and gunners that kept our butts out of trouble every day.
