What the Critics Say
"This is our story, told some twenty to thirty years later, but as chilling and touching to us who were there as if it took place yesterday." (Marine Corps Aviation Association)
"The detailed history of the Marine helicopter pilot has never been written in such a hard, cold-steel, factual way as this great book reveals." (Vietnam Helicopter Pilots Association)

"Bonnie Sue"
I found this to be an interesting book to listen to, it not only discribed the danger of the Chopper pilots but also the grunts and Recon teams that they flew all over Nam. It also describes the willingness to risk their lives to help the Grunts on the ground. Thats what it was really like. I am a Viet Nam Vet, and I was in Recon. These Pilots could fly. It was a feeling like no other. Listen to this book.

"Bonnie-Sue (Unabridged)"
I am a Marine Recon Veteran familiar with the areas of operation written about and the units involved. The narrative is so well crafted that I could smell the jet fuel, feel the vibrations and the deafening sound inside the 46s. After visiting the Bonnie-Sue website I could also see the faces of the men involved. I especially appreciated the after action reports as they described the action in the dry terse terms of Marine Corps History.

"Boring!!"
As entertainment, on a scale of 1-10, this book gets a 2. It is like listening to a textbook rather than a novel. On top of that, the narrator is horrible...Don't waste your time or money on this.

"Excellent historical account of the Vietnam war"
I thoroughly enjoyed listening to this audiobook.
There were several evenings when I had to 'just keep listening' to find out if the daring helicopter pilots would be able to rescue the grunts!0 of 0 people found this review helpful -
"Best Vietnam book on Marine Helecopter Squadrons"
My Dad was in Vietnam and flew the H-46, and for me this book brought life to stories and places my Dad has told me about. Sturkey was in Vietnam after my Dad, but the accounts of Marble Mountain, Dong Ha, Khe Sahn, and Danang were very much like they were when my Dad was there.
Great Book!0 of 0 people found this review helpful -
"neither here nor there"
Unfortunately, the history of engagement is sparse while the story is sketchy-let's have one or the other, please.
