There are many great photos in this book from his award winning film – some of which have been on display in the Smithsonian in Washington DC. The photos of the author capturing enemy flags are truly something very special. This book is an education and is something that captures a piece of The Vietnam War that just a very few old combat veterans know about and remember.
I saw these smokeships in action on several occasions myself when flying with the 128th Assault helicopter Company – and they saved lives! Throwing down smoke screens so our Hueys could land in the LZ and drop off ground troops. The screens provided cover for them as they scrambled from the helicopters by masking where they were.
After you read this book and savor its photos – you might then wish to see the video that they were taken from. It is a blood chilling rush of pure adrenaline ! I love this book and totally recommend buying a copy!
