Im glad this thread has revived itself, I’ve been laid up for over a month with an injury and have been looking for good books to read. I just downloaded this and sailings recommendation from the last page. “Carrying the Fire” is currently free as a kindle unlimited download if you have Amazon prime.

I just finished a 3 book trilogy called “Undaunted Valor” about Helicopter pilots in Vietnam. They were all available on kindle unlimited for free and a very good read. Man, those guys had guts. And during certain times, they were flying up to 160 hours a month flying resupply missions and combat assaults under heavy enemy fire. Highly recommend the series if you’re into war history and helicopter flying.
