Bob Miller - A Phan Thiet Hero
If you want to read about a Vietnam Chopper pilot who was somewhat cynical about the war, but a courageous and skillfull pilot, who risked his life to perform for his commander and his troops, then read this book.
This isn't just a book review, it is a testimony from me. I was there. I witnessed what he writes about. Early, most every morning, their choppers assembled, with LTC Alves, (AKA - Blackhawk)in the lead chopper often piloted by Miller. They would lift off on their mission is a Fury that the Vietcong learned to fear. I said a silent prayer for Miller, Blackhawk,the other pilots, and the grunts every day.
My heart was heavy when some of the ships would return to the LZ hot, bringing the wounded, and body bags in. No time was wasted as they left back to the action. Time after Time. Day after Day.
Miller was a highly decorated Warrent Officer. You must read what Blackhawk said about him. There is no doubt that Miller would have taken a bullet for his commander, and there is no doubt that Blackhawk would have taken a bullet for him.
It was my honor and privilege to serve at LZ Betty under the protection of Miller, Alves, and each and every one of the 3/506 troopers.

REAL MEN DO CRY
I'm not a paid reviewer just someone who originally bought this book to read about someone I served under in another capacity, Lt. Col. Manuel A. Alves, who is perfectly depicted by the author. I was, however, mesmerized by the entire novel. This novel is exactly what it says: a diary. It's all substance with no fluff. I especially like the way Bob Miller transforms from a maverick to a caring comrade. The friendships he develops are so necessary to get through the daily horrors of war and those horrors, ultimately, get up close and personal.
A very interesting book
I wanted to have some idea of what Huey pilots went through in South Viet Nam. This book gave me an excellent frame of reference. I am friends with other Viet Nam Veterans,so the stories told in this book both confirm what I've been told by others as well as hearing new stories of what things were like in Southeast Asia in 1968. i would have enjoyed working with Bob Miller,I think,had I had a chance. Well worth the time & money for this book. I absolutely recommend it. Easily Five Stars in my book.
Short and sweet
I enjoyed reading Miller's book which was in essence his diary while serving in Vietnam as a helicopter pilot. I liked his sense of humor but would have preferred for him to go into a little more detail. Overall I would recommend this book for someone who wants to know more about what a helicopter pilot experienced in Vietnam.
I could not put it down!
I was assined to the 192nd from 1971- 72. I did not know the auther and wasn't even in the same platoon. I was in the gun platoon (Tiger Sharks) assighned as a Crew Chief and a Door Gunner.
