True stories of daring helicopter rescues as told by the men who flew them. Twenty two missions flown by youthful helicopter crews in service to their country and to their fellow comrades during the Vietnam War.
Somehow I am managing to read this series out of order - but they are all real life accounts of harrowing rescues under fire. Mere kids doing the unimaginable to save their fellow soldiers. I can’t imagine most kids today being drafted and doing these heroic and selfless deeds - yet these kids - fresh out of high school - did just that, time and time again. Gives me chills just thinking about it.
