Rattler One-Seven by Chuck Gross Pdf

Rattler One-Seven puts you in the helicopter seat, to see the war in Vietnam through the eyes of an inexperienced pilot as he transforms himself into a seasoned combat veteran. At the age of twenty, Chuck Gross spent his 1970-71 tour with the 71st Assault Helicopter Company flying UH-1 Huey helicopters. He inserted special operations teams into Laos and participated in Lam Son 719, a misbegotten attempt to assault and cut the Ho Chi Minh Trail, during which his helicopter was shot down and he was stranded in the field.

More Than a Name on the Wall by William McDaniel McCollum Pdf

During the Vietnam War, helicopter pilots and their crews saved thousands of lives while performing the U.S. Army's most dangerous job. One in eighteen never made it home alive. The pilots and crews held a job that was exciting, exhausting, and extremely dangerous. As a result of our mission with the 5th Special Forces Delta Operations, we suffered a higher casualty rate than most aviation units serving in the Vietnam War. As you read about these men, you will find that they are some of the bravest men you could ever get to know. Each of these men loved his job; they would risk their lives to save their fellow man, and they would do it day in and day out. These men gave the ultimate sacrifice; they gave their all. What more can you ask of a person? I do believe if they could return to life, they would again want to serve with the 281st Assault Helicopter Company. We had some of the best. Take time to read about each of these men. They were young; they were brave, they are our brothers. This book is a labor of love and respect. Therefore, any and all revenue collected from the sale of the book will be donated to the 281st Scholarship Fund which awards annual scholarships in the names of our lost and missing Intruders. Keywords: Vietnam War, MIA, KIA, 281st Assault Helicopter Company, Special Forces, Intruder

US Army AH-1 Cobra Units in Vietnam by Jonathan Bernstein Pdf

Bell's AH-1 Cobra was the first dedicated helicopter gunship to reach frontline service anywhere in the world. Developed as a private venture by the manufacturer, and based on the mechanics of the ubiquitous UH-1 Huey, the Cobra proved a huge success once introduced into combat with the US Army in 1966. Built as a key weapon in the Advanced Aerial Fire Support System concept of 1965, the AH-1 was one of the few aircraft to reach the combat zone after actual combat experience went into its design. The AH-1 helped reduce the losses being suffered by vulnerable troop transport helicopters by providing effective fire suppression during airmobile operations. This book explores its history, technology and crew.

On Warriors' Wings: Army Vietnam War Helicopters and the Native Americans They Were Named to Honor by David Napoliello Pdf

On Warriors' Wings traces the evolution of the Army policy to give names to major end items of equipment and specifically Native American tribal, warrior chiefs, and item to helicopters.Twelve Army helicopters saw combat in Vietnam, with eleven bearing Native American names. For each, David Napoliello's work includes an examination of what capabilities were needed, its performance requirements, and the production of the fleet. Napoliello continues with a discussion on how the aircraft was used during its entire period of service in-country as opposed to a twelve-month snapshot of the experiences of a single aviator or a specific aviation unit. The capstone of each chapter is the story of the Native American tribe or warrior chief and how that history commends it for the naming of that particular helicopter.David also devotes a chapter to the experiences and memories of Native American veterans who served as pilots or crew members of those eleven aircraft. These are insightful, first-person accounts of their tours of duty in Vietnam and duties in aviation units while stationed there.Over two hundred Native Americans perished in Vietnam, nineteen of whom died while participating in aerial operations. The details of that final mission and loss are included in here, along with a listing of the other fallen warriors.On Warriors' Wings concludes with a summary of the new Native American named helicopters that came after Vietnam and the progress the US military has made with regards to national recognition of Indigenous veterans.On Warriors' Wings includes extensive illustrations and archival images of Native American veterans.
