Book Reviews of Chickenhawk

Book Review: Best Helicopter Book I've Ever Read
Summary: 5 Stars

I'm a former Navy helicopter pilot and I read Chickenhawk the first time while I was on active duty in the mid-1980s. It's a great war story for anyone, but for a helicopter pilot with some time in the Huey, I felt like I was in the cockpit with the author. I also learned some things about handling a helicopter in Robert Mason's book that I wish I'd learned in flight school -- it made me a better, safer pilot. Now twenty years later, I've reread the book, and it is just as exciting and hard to put down as it ever was. If you'd like to read a great war story, this is it. Even better if you've ever flown a helicopter or have an interest in them. Keep your turns up!

Summary of Chickenhawk

More than half a million copies of Chickenhawk have been sold since it was first published in 1983. Now with a new afterword by the author and photographs taken by him during the conflict, this straight-from-the-shoulder account tells the electrifying truth about the helicopter war in Vietnam. This is Robert Mason's astounding personal story of men at war. A veteran of more than one thousand combat missions, Mason gives staggering descriptions that cut to the heart of the combat experience: the fear and belligerence, the quiet insights and raging madness, the lasting friendships and sudden death-the extreme emotions of a "chickenhawk" in constant danger.
