1. Outlaws in Vietnam by David
Eastman
Great Book About The 175Th Aviation Company - The Outlaws
Ride a Huey with the Outlaws of the 175th Aviation Company (AML) in the
Mekong Delta and experience a first-hand 1st Lieutenants account of a
tour in Viet Nam from 1966 to 1967. David Eastmans lively account reveals
an untold story of competence, camaraderie, and fellowship. Often referred
to as the one combat element of the US Army that did not succumb to the
stress of the war in Vietnam, the men of the helicopters kept their discipline
and their spirit.
Personal Review: Outlaws in Vietnam by David Eastman
Want to know what it was like to be a Huey chopper pilot, deep in the
Mekong Delta during the Vietnam War? Read this book. Dave Eastman
flew both "slicks" (transport choppers that carried mostly Vietnamese
soldiers into battle) and gunships during a year of heavy fighting in a
particularly deadly part of Vietnam.

2. Dave describes the life of a helicopter pilot superbly -not only the flying and
fighting, but also the sociology of chopper pilots and crews.
This book fascinated me, partly because I was a "client" of the chopper
crews, including the 175th Outlaws, and I know the terrain well. I was an
adviser on Military Assistance Command-Vietnam (MAC-V) Team 73,
based in Vi Thanh. Dave writes a lot about "the first battle of Vi Thanh,"
"the second battle of VT," etc. (there were plenty).
But I was fascinated mainly bec ause "Outlaws" is a good book. Dave
Eastman writes well, and has contributed significantly to a vital, but seldom
documented, aspect of the Vietnam War.
