You Will Love Reading Vietnam War Helicopter Books

By Toni Vang


It is more common for men to read novels relating to war then woman as it turns stupidity, greed and depravity into brave, selflessness and loyalty. They cover the causes as well as the effects and not to forget the heroes which are in turn the victims. Vietnam War helicopter books are also a part of this scenario adding a certain thrill to the overall outline.

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.

When asking those that love to read when the best time is, many will say that just before one turns out the light at night. It is an excellent way to begin to relax and will help to calm the mind as well as clear it of all the hassles that have taken place during the day. Reading with a dim light not only relaxes the body but also gives signals to the brain that it is nearly sleep time.

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.

A movie was made from this and was directed by Randall Wallace. Mel Gibson starred in it as Moore. It is a historical true-life book and was published in October nineteen ninety two. The Vietnamese government did not agree to this movie and the Vietnamese commander portrayed in this movie was condemned as a traitor. He and his family were later allowed to move to the United States of America in 2003.

Many self-help books can actually help one to see themselves from someone else's eyes. These books help to give support where needed and also manage to help that person to rise above their depression and become aware that life is still good. Many with severe depression have benefited from these low intensity interventions.

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.

He was an actual pilot in the War and had more than twelve hundred hours of combat flying under his belt. He achieved a Senior Aircraft Commander status and later became a commercial pilot of 767/757s. He then retired as a Captain and has published videos on self defense.
