Lt. John Rob's adrenaline-fueled vignettes bring you the Vietnam War through the eyes of a 21-year-old who interrupted his college education to enlist in the U.S. Army. Initially trained as a tanker, Rob was reassigned to helicopter flight school at Fort Wolters, Texas. Once in Vietnam, he first worked out of LZ Sharon and then moved south to Tay Ninh. Rob was a flight leader with the 1st Cavalry 229th Assault Helicopter Battalion (AHB), a highly decorated unit. He led combat assaults in both I Corps and III Corps. He also flew Special Forces and Marine recon missions in Laos and North Vietnam. Strap on your chicken plate body armor, and fly along on missions ranging from psyops to Zippo-lit troop insertions to sling-loading a live water buffalo! FOREWORD by Hugh L. Mills Jr. author of Low Level Hell: A Scout Pilot in the Big Red One "This book's vignettes capture the bizarre to the sublime, and the mundane to the masterful use of helicopters in Vietnam. I know the story. I know the man. And I know you will be well served by this new memoir." 60 photos; 1 map; 2 Huey diagrams. Professionally edited and printed in the USA by History4All, Inc.
