Synopsis

Ron Alexander is 5' 3" and weighs 110 pounds, making him the smallest American pilot to fly in the Vietnam war. He is also one of the most highly decorated chopper pilots to come out of that war. In this action-driven account, readers will be taken into the heart of the war as they never have before, following Colonel Alexander as he learns the ropes then goes above and beyond the call of duty. Alexander became a living legend, piloting Huey slicks and gunships into red hot landing zones, inserting Blue Teams into infantry battle, buzzing tree tops and rescuing fellow soldiers from areas blanketed with machine gun fire. From one hot zone to the next, readers will take off in the cockpit with Alexander as bullets smash through the airframe plexiglass, chin bubble burst and instrument panels erupt in smoke and sparks. This is a barn-burner of a memoir that spares no details and moves with rapid-fire pace.
