Super Slick Life and Death in a Huey Helicopter in Vietnam【電子書籍】[ Tom Feigel ] 楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア	＜p＞100% of author royalties are being donated to the Tunnel to Towers Foundation＜/p＞＜p＞Helicopters loom large in how we picture the Vietnam War. Kilgore’s birds coming in hot (and Wagnerian) out of the rising sun in ＜em＞Apocalypse Now＜/em＞. The infantry/helicopter assault at Ia Drang in the climax of ＜em＞We Were Soldiers＜/em＞. A chopper flying over green rice paddies, with a teenaged door gunner manning a .50-cal. A slick dropping into an LZ whirling with purple smoke. We can only imagine it. Tom Feigel lived it, as a twenty-year-old crew chief in a Huey. ＜em＞Super Slick＜/em＞ is the story of his year in Vietnam.＜/p＞＜p＞Tom Feigel grew up a typical post-World War II kid who wrestled in high school, had a steady girl, and loved working on carsーand then everything changed. Less than a year out of high school, he was drafted into the army and assigned to aviation, ultimately to helicopters. In Vietnam in 1970, he first worked as a “hangar rat,” part of the ground crew responsible for maintaining the company's thirty Hueysーthe Warriors and Thunderbirdsーof the 336th Assault Helicopter Company, which operated in southern South Vietnam, in the Mekong Delta and U Minh Forest. In short order, Feigel volunteered for a flight mission to replace the rotors of a damaged chopperーwhich led to his becoming a crew chief on a transport slick called ＜em＞Warrior 21＜/em＞. Before long, he and ＜em＞21's＜/em＞ crew asked the company commander for permission to re-outfit their ship for thicker, more dangerous missionsーand they ended up flying an up-gunned helicopter call sign ＜em＞Super Slick＜/em＞, tasked with similar missions but into more dangerous zones.＜/p＞＜p＞Feigel’s memoir recounts the thick and thin of helicopter combat in Vietnam. Heart-pumping missions into hot landing zones (sometimes inserting and extracting Navy SEALs). Adrenaline-fueled flights into enemy-infested jungles and free-fire zones. Low-level reconnaissance. “Hash and trash” runs to deliver supplies to far-flung units. Terrifying nighttime operations where trees posed nearly as much danger as the enemy. Razor-thin margins between life and death. It was dangerous; it was thrilling. The crews loved it; the crews hated it. They were proud of it. And they never wanted to do it again. ＜em＞Super Slick＜/em＞ is as close as you can get to being inside a Hueyーto hearing the radio chatter, feeling the thrum of the rotors, the pounding of the door guns.＜/p＞画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちらをクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。	3,166円
