Description
A dedicated U. S. Army Assault helicopter pilot in Vietnam just wants to do his job and return home to his wife and family. To do so, he has to survive harrowing combat missions, bad weather, mechanical problems, human error and a commander who is more interested in personal glory and promotion than his men’s well being. Along the way he participated in the last major American combat operation of the war. Lam Son 719, a major incursion into Laos, lasted sixty days and was the costliest period of the war for helicopter pilots and crew members.
The author drops his readers right into the cockpit with a U.S. Army Assault helicopter pilot during the Vietnam War. Strap in and Hang on!

Advance Praise
“Chariots in the Sky is a harrowing combat helicopter ride through wartime Vietnam. This fast paced experience of war comes to life through the eyes and exploits of Army assault helicopter pilot, Captain Taylor St. James. This is a dramatic and exciting story that puts you right in the middle of the action. Read this for a solemn appreciation of what it was like for our assault pilots and crews fighting the war in Vietnam.”
—LCDR B. Hood, USNR
“I thoroughly enjoyed this book. There are very few books that I start and don't want to put down. This is one of them. It is an eye-opening look into the world of American helicopter aircrews at war in Vietnam.”
