Flights from Phu Loi

An Account of Helicopter Reconnaissance in the Vietnam War

Omschrijving

"Spin, crash, and burn." These words describe a helicopter pilot's worst case scenario, and which Lieutenant Richard Greene kept trying to avoid during his service as a reconnaissance pilot in the Vietnam War. As an "Outcast" in his Bell observation helicopter, Greene witnessed many close calls, snafus, and over-reach during multiple military operations. But throughout, Greene found humor, beauty, and friendship, which he captured in letters to his wife as well as with his Instamatic camera. This book combines these into a compelling personal account of the War from the air, and on the ground at his base in Phu Loi.
