À propos de cet audio

From June 1967 to June 1968, Tom Johnson accumulated an astonishing 1,600 flying hours piloting the UH-1 "Iroquois" - better known as the "Huey" - as part of the famous First Air Cavalry Division. His battalion was one of the most decorated units of the Vietnam War, and helped redefine modern warfare.

Johnson's riveting memoir takes us into key battles and rescue missions, including those for Hue and Khe Sanh. In harrowing detail, he tells of being shot down in the battle of A Shau Valley, of surviving enemy attacks during the Tet Offensive, and of a death-defying nighttime river rescue, in which only the bare feet of soldiers hanging off the Huey's skids kept the helicopter from plunging under water. From dangerous missions to narrow escapes, Johnson's memoir vividly captures the adrenaline rush and the horror of war, and takes you on a ride you'll never forget.

Difficult for me to explain how good this book is, it is related using Army slang and a lot of radio call signs, this puts the reader/listener right in the cockpit with this incredibly brave man. I found the locations on a map and followed along with other historical accounts of the battles and operations the author was involved in.

I slowed the naration slightly to 0.9, that made it easier for me to follow, a minor correction required to fully experience the committment, bravery and pure tension of flying a helicopter in Vietnam.

Amazed that any of these brave pilots made it out alive, thanks for your service and thanks for these very personal recollections.! I hope his re-assimilation into life back home was successful.

Highly recommended.
