Historia4.5 out of 5 stars 609
A Yale graduate who volunteered to serve his country, Larry Gwin was only 23 years old when he arrived in Vietnam in 1965. After a brief stint in the Delta, Gwin was reassigned to the 1st Cavalry Division (Airmobile) in An Khe. There, in the hotly contested Central Highlands, he served almost nine months as executive officer for Alpha Company, 2/7, fighting against crack NVA troops in some of the war's most horrific battles.

Great Book about 1st Cav Sky Trooper
Revisado: 02-07-19
This is a amazing book about being a 1st Cav Grunt in Vietnam. As a son of a Vietnam Vet who fought in the same unit 2-7 Bravo Company 68-69 it really does a great job of describing what it was like being in Combat in Vietnam. I grew up listening to my Dad and his fellow brothers tell there stories and this book is like the same. Can’t recommend it enough. And as my Dad would Say GarryOwen!

Historia4.5 out of 5 stars 830
Over 12,000 helicopters were used in the Vietnam War, which is why it became known as "The Helicopter War". Almost half of the helicopters, 5,086, were lost. This memoir describes first-hand the harrowing experiences of helicopter pilots and crews in combat operations, from the far South to the DMZ, including the infamous Ashau Valley, Hamburger Hill, LZ Airborne, and others. 19 Minutes to Live illustrates the incredible courage and determination of helicopter pilots and crews supporting those heroes that carried a rucksack and a rifle in Vietnam.

Great Book about Air Cav Cobra Pilots
Revisado: 01-05-19
I have read a lot books about helicopters in Vietnam. This one is the best in regards to what it was like for a Cobra Attack Helicopter Pilot. Really good. I grew up hearing stories from my Dad who was a Air Cav Infantry Platoon Sergeant (Combat Grunt) in Vietnam. He always talked about Huey Gunships and Cobras and they literally were the only thing that kept them from being overrun many times. He would say soon as they showed up the shooting would stop as the enemy wanted nothing to do with a Cobra Gunship. Amazing read and highly recommended! Thanks to all the Vietnam Vets and there Sacrifice!
