Product Description:
Ride a Huey with the Outlaws of the 175th Aviation Company (AML) in the Mekong Delta and experience a first-hand 1st Lieutenant's account of a tour in Viet Nam from 1966 to 1967. David Eastman's lively account reveals an untold story of competence, camaraderie, and fellowship. Often referred to as the one combat element of the US Army that did not succumb to the stress of the war in Vietnam, the men of the helicopters kept their discipline and their spirit.

The first time I read David's book I really couldn't put it down. For a 20 year old in 1966, I honestly didn't know much about the Vietnam war. But, by reading this book I saw and felt the experiences of these men who actually lived this life. To me it is a very emotional book...you understand that these men were "family". They depended on each others skills, knowledge, respect and leadership in order to survive that period in their lives. You will indeed laugh and cry many times while reading ... Read More

I ended up with this book because it was matched up with another book, "Kill Me If You Can", a book that many battlefield hardened grunts had said was a really good book, and it was. This one leaves a lot to be desired if one is non-military and trying to learn what the war was like. I suspect that most of the really good reviews here came from the author's friends.

Author David Eastman treats the reader to an insider view of one of the best aviation units in the Delta during the Vietnam War. This was a totally different kind of war and his historic look back at the 175th Aviation Company from 1966 through 1967 is a real snap shot of that special kind of helicopter warfare. His book, "Outlaws in Vietnam," is a masterpiece of writing. It loses nothing in the details and the historic reconstruction of memories. The author takes us along on the missions and we ...

Want to know what it was like to be a Huey chopper pilot, deep in the Mekong Delta during the Vietnam War? Read this book. Dave Eastman flew both "slicks" (transport choppers that carried mostly Vietnamese soldiers into battle) and gunships during a year of heavy fighting in a particularly deadly part of Vietnam.
Dave describes the life of a helicopter pilot superbly-not only the flying and fighting, but also the sociology of chopper pilots and crews.
This book fascinated me, ... Read More

I don't know how I ended up in this under 13 review, but here it is. The thought came to me as I read OUTLAWS in Vietnam , that I didn't know what the pilots were doing and feeling when landing and taking-off from areas that most people will never experiance. As a door gunner I remember thinking how we would work together giving instruction from our gunner wells on the position of the helicopter in relation to the surounding trees, brush, and mountain cliffs that we used as a landing zone (LZ), I often ...
