Angel's Wing: A Year in the Skies of Vietnam

by Joseph R. Finch

Non-Fiction, Vietnam, Memoir

$16.95

Angel’s Wing is Joe Finch’s account of the year he spent with A Company, the “Little Bears” during the Vietnam War. His story is raw and authentic, unflinching in its honesty. Sometimes his tale is humorous. Sometimes it’s tragic. Whether he writes of a preposterous moment or of brutality and death, his personal account is powerful. If you weren’t there, at times his experiences in Vietnam are hard to imagine: the blood, the noise, the smells.  At other times, you will open your eyes in wonder at the dedication that the young men fighting there demonstrated.

REVIEWS:

"The Angel's Wing was a "very bad place" to the helicopter pilots of Viet Nam but to the men on the ground the "Angels" were the pilots themselves. For the pilots it was the hotly contested no-mans land along the Cambodian border. To those soldiers on the ground who were injured or hungry or needing support, the helicopter units like the "Little Bears" and so many others, were the Angels who came upon "rotary" wings. The book is also a story of the soldiers in those helicopters who made the rules up as they went. They learned as they lived and died." -- LTC Hugh L. Mills, Jr.; Scout Pilot, Viet Nam
