A good mix of events and tactics
Very good read. It flowed nicely from event to event,with enough detail to keep it interesting, and informative. Would the air force m p really have shot Mr. Robinson?

Having been a gunship crew chief I can relate to the feelings of these men, dealing in emotionally with life and death situations

The Marines above Vietnam
Lt Robinson gives us a valuble chronicle of the Marine air contribution to the Vietnam conflict.His writing style is condenced and thorough.
