À propos de cet audio

In the summer of 1967, Mark Garrison had dropped out of college at Southern Illinois University just before entering his third year. He had run out of money and had to work for a while. These were the days before the lottery and the draft soon came calling. In order to somewhat control his own future, he enlisted in the US Army's helicopter flight school program. Little did he know that this adventure would be the most profound experience of his life.

Garrison flew hundreds of missions for the 119th AHC, stationed in the Central Highlands at Camp Holloway in Pleiku, Vietnam. He was awarded 25 Air Medals, four campaign Bronze Stars, and The Distinguished Flying Cross, among numerous other awards. His narrative takes you through the whole process, from basic training, flight school, flying combat in Vietnam, and his return to the United States. His description includes many incidents in combat flight, including being hit by rocket propelled grenades and being on fire in the air, over hundreds if not thousands of enemy troops. But this is not all. He elaborates on the daily lives, emotions, and nuances of the pilots and what they considered their mission to be.

Guts 'N Gunships is a must listen if you are to have a realistic understanding of what flying helicopters in Vietnam combat was all about.

It’s impossible for us born after this war to truly understand what it was like ,
But with this brilliantly written 1st hand account , it’s impossible not to be taken back in time.

The Narrating is top notch as well .

The Real Deal.

I understand the horrors of war and I appreciate the difficulty of redcounting these
awful events, it's not for entertainment, but for history's sake. However, the courseness
of the language made me stop listening to the account. If one has the vocabulary then these events and experiences can be expressed clearly without having to use expletives frequently.

Raw - not for me
