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. Helicopter pilots and crews accounted for nearly ten percent of all the U.S. casualties suffered in Vietnam, with nearly 5,000 killed and an untold number of wounded. Lew Jennings flew over 700 Air Cavalry Cobra Gunship Helicopter missions and received three Distinguished Flying Crosses for Valor.
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.

Riktigt bra! Inte ofta man fått följa en Cobra-pilot tidigare.

Mycket intressant om man gillar militär historia och dessutom helikoptrar.

3.75 Bra skrivet och uppläst. Blev tillräckligt hooked för att lyssna klart. Men kanske inte den mest gripande skildringen.

Mycket spännande skildring om dessa amerikanska 20-åringar som skyndades genom utbildningen och sedan riskerade livet i dyra dödsmaskiner.
