Best yet
I recently began reading books of pilots over Viet Nam and this is the best yet, though many have been very good. It captures my feelings best.

A TRUE AMERICAN HERO!
I own and have read every Vietnam War Army aviation book that has been published. To The Limit is the most well put together and exciting ‘read’ that is out there.
