Many People Read Vietnam War Helicopter Books Very Regularly

By Toni Vang


Reading is a pass time that many enjoy as it transports them into another time and place. There are so many to choose from, both fiction as well as non-fiction that can keep the mind active for ages. Hundreds have being written about romance, thrillers, murder as well as Vietnam War helicopter books.

Low Level Hell is a paperback written by Hugh Mills and captures the lives of a few aviators who came face to face with death on every mission they undertook. It is also available in Hardcover as well as kindle. The reviews are all very good giving this one a five star. Many say that this one is up there with the Chickenhawk book by Robert Mason.

Non-fiction is just the opposite and is based on real things. These could include languages, religion, true crime, business as well as history. Many are written about the war in Vietnam which is also known as the Second Indochina War or the Resistance War against America. It began on November the first in nineteen fifty five in Cambodia, Laos and Vietnam.

The book Chickenhawk was written by Robert Mason about his experiences as a helicopter pilot of the UH-1 Iroquois. This helicopter was made and developed by Bell Helicopter especially for the United States Army in order to evacuate those injured as well as to move utilities. Its first flight was on October the twentieth nineteen fifty-six and there are now over sixteen thousand worldwide.

Becoming one with the book gives a new meaning to reading. When an intense part is about to take place one often finds themselves sitting up in bed or leaning forward on the couch waiting with anticipation for the next line. Many readers actually become very emotional when things happen and trying to explain to someone who is not reading the same book can become quite hard.

When Thunder Rolled by Ed Rasimus is also a very good read, it might not be about helicopters but is about an F-105 pilot. He is able to get across many heart stopping airborne combats that will keep the readers glued to the pages for many hours. The Baltimore Chronicle says that this is a story that shows just how brave the men were that had to fly over enemy territory.

Rattler one-seven by Chuck Gross is all about a helicopter pilot's story and firmly puts the reader in the seat up front. The whole book is about an inexperienced pilot that soon becomes a seasoned fighting veteran. Many reviews state that he is able to get across that feeling of actually flying a Huey in combat and that only the smell of gunpowder is missing.

This book became both hardcover as well as paperback and was a best seller, all while he was still imprisoned. He was not able to continue writing while in prison but later published two other novels, Weapon and Solo. He also wrote a second memoir of Chickenhawk with the subtitle Back in the World.
