Third tour was with HAL-3 Seawolves flying Huey gun ships in support of the Brown Water Navy and the SEALS. HAL-3 was the most highly decorated helicopter squadron in the Navy.

The book also talks about comical antidotes along the way and the terrifying ones. I was the Officer in Charge of a detachment of gunships in South Vietnam and was proud of the fact that we brought each one of the door gunners and pilots back safely.
