There is great honesty in the book and, if Greene doesn’t recall the details of an event, he doesn’t try to recreate it. He is modest in recounting what he did… I recommend this readable love letter to a combat helicopter written by a seemingly likeable, regular guy.” – The VVA Veteran\n\nDuring Vietnam, the basic role of the USMC gunship squadrons was to protect the transport helicopters during medevac missions, troop insertions and extractions, resupply missions, and supporting the Marines on the ground during operations and patrols. Basically, whenever the Marines or South Vietnam friendlies got in trouble the gunships were dispatched to assist them.\n\nAs a gunner, and later crew chief, Pete Greene flew hundreds of missions on Huey gunships – flying practically every day with different pilots and gunners. In this vivid memoir he recalls many of those missions, including providing gunship support for MACV-SOG in and around I Corps area, working with Marine Recon, and undertaking frequent, perilous resupply and medevac and medevac support missions.\n\nTable of Contents\n\nEnlistment USMC and Memphis Naval Air Station\nCulture Shock-January 67\nGiant Spider and Beetles\nTime to Start Flying\nVMO-6\nMighty Mouse \u0026amp; Here I am\nMarch 67 and SOG\nApril and CH-46 downed, Summer 67\nEarly Summer '67\nCouldn’t find the bullet hole:\nNight Standby\nRecon Team south of Chu Lai\nSOG Major\nThe move to Phu Bai\nQuang Tri Air Base\nYoung Vietnamese Girl\nMarine Recon is trouble and rocket\nThe Sniffer and Flood Light\nThe Mortar Attack, December “67\nCon Thien being overrun\nGooks in the Open\nBullet in the blade\nLooking for US ARMY chopper and NVA on Dozer\nSOG Team in trouble\nBack in the World\nEpilogue\u003cbr\u003eASIN: 1636244459\u003cbr\u003eVSKU: BVV.1636244459.G\u003cbr\u003eCondition: Good\u003cbr\u003eAuthor\/Artist:Greene, Peter\u003cbr\u003eBinding: Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eNote:\u003c\/b\u003e Any images shown are stock photographs and product may differ from what is shown.  \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eCondition Notes\u003c\/b\u003e: The item shows wear from consistent use, but it remains in good condition and works perfectly.
