Tour Of Duty: The Story Of A Vietnam Helicopter Pilot: Life Of Pilot In Vietnam War

by Almeda Gurski

The life of a pilot was both dangerous and demanding in the unpredictable, unorthodox conditions of Vietnam. Regardless of the mission, pilots flew as if expecting they’d be fired upon, and quite often this assumption proved correct. Speed and efficiency were drilled into these men above all else; if a pilot was slow to land, or lingered too long in a hot LZ, this inaction could cost him not only his own life but the lives of his passengers and crew as well.

This is the 5th episode in a series that follows a young helicopter pilot's tour of duty in Vietnam.
