At that time Asians and Blacks were not able to straighten or dye their hair as they do today. The most daring

I have just finished reading Chickenhawk by Robert Mason. I read it several years ago but the story is so powerful that I kept the book and have now read it twice. To anyone interested in the Vietnam War, helicopter flying, or the effect of war on young people, I strongly recommend this gripping story.
