The "Army Aviation in Vietnam" series of books are a welcome and long overdue addition to the library of U.S. military history. As a current Army aviator, I find this series invaluable in allowing me to trace the history of Army aviators and their units.

Rich in detail, Mr. Young's work is unequaled and fills a gap that has existed for quite a while. I highly recommend this book to anyone interested in the history of Army aviation or the U.S. involvement in the Vietnam war.

If you have any interest in Army Aviation during the Vietnam years, this is the best source of information I have seen.

My father served three tours in Vietnam, in a variety of aviation units. This book has allowed me to gain a better understanding of the units he was assigned to, the type of aircraft they operated, the unit patches, etc...

I have the 1st Vol. as well, and am anxiously waiting future volumns.

This is the second of Ralph Young's series of fine books on the insignia and units of the Army Aviation units in Vietnam, both fixed wing and helicopter. I'm proud to own both of the existing books, and will buy each and every one as they are produced. This is a labor of love for Ralph, and it is a privilege to accompany him as he recognizes members of all the helicopter units that were in RVN at different times of the war. He is a walking encyclopedia, and his remarkable books show this. My unit, the 175th OUTLAWS is displayed correctly and prominently, and I am looking forward to the third edition of his series, which will feature my bird, Outlaw 23, representing the fine aviation art his illustrator is capable of. History of the individual units and their personnel who mattered are also included in this excellent work. Put it on your bookshelf!
