Almost half of the helicopters, 5,086, were lost. Helicopter pilots and crews accounted for nearly ten percent of all the U.S. casualties suffered in Vietnam, with nearly 5,000 killed and an untold number of wounded. Lew Jennings flew over 700 Air Cavalry Cobra Gunship Helicopter missions and received three Distinguished Flying Crosses for Valor. This memoir describes first-hand the harrowing experiences of helicopter pilots and crews in combat operations, from the far South to the DMZ, including the infamous Ashau Valley, Hamburger Hill, LZ Airborne, and others. 19 Minutes to Live illustrates the incredible courage and determination of helicopter pilots and crews supporting those heroes that carried a rucksack and a rifle in Vietnam. 538 $a Mode of access: World Wide Web. 650 0 $a Vietnam War, 1961-1975 $z United States. 650 0 $a Vietnam War, 1961-1975 $x Veterans $z United States. 650 0 $a Vietnam War, 1961-1975 $v Biography. 650 0 $a Helicopters. 700 1 $a Colacci, David. 710 2 $a hoopla digital. 856 40 $u https://www.hoopladigital.com/title/12087786 $z Instantly available on hoopla. 856 42 $z Cover image $u https://d2snwnmzyr8jue.cloudfront.net/ttm_9781977323231_180.jpeg 941 $a 1 952 $l CDPF771 $d 20180704015517.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=05BC77FC7F5111E8A5BED64C97128E48Initiate Another SILO Locator Search
