5.0 out of 5 stars I would like to recommend "Legends, Shadows and Heroes", July 10, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: Vietnam Military Lore: Legends, Shadows & Heroes (signed) (Hardcover)

I would like to recommend "Vietnam Military Lore - Legends, Shadows and Heroes" for a lot of reasons but especially to Army aviators because there is quite a bit of coverage of the first Helicopter transportation companies that were sent to Vietnam way back in 1961 and 1962, namely the 8th, 57th, 33d and the 45th, which later became the 117th, 120th, 118th, 121st and 145th Helicopter Companies. I know the old timers will recognize a lot of names of aviators that Bows has written about. I thereofre recommend this book to all those interested in Army helicopter aviation. I recommended this book to Art Conroy, Publisher of the Transportation Corps Army Aviation Newsletter. Bentley Herbert

I bought Ray's first book when it was first published, "...Another Way To Remember."
At first I did not notice the slight mistakes in the book, but then I did and I wrote Ray about it and of course I did not get a response.
If you would check the map of I Corps, you will notice that Camp Evans and Camp Eagle are not in their right places. Camp Evans was between Hue and Quang Tri, and Camp Eagle was just alittle north of Phu Bai. He also left off Tan My Island, east of Hue, which was a very important port for the northern I Corps area. Thats all I have to say, except like in most books and magazines, the Transportation Units are mostly forgotten, even though we hauled most of the gear, and also had to fight along the way alot of the times. Thanks, Shep.

5.0 out of 5 stars One of the First to be captured in South Vietnam, 1961, June 24, 2003

I would recommentd this book for all to read. This book tells a little about some of us that were part of the original people assigned to Vietnam prior to 1964. This was one of the first books to tell about myself, having been captured on 24 December 1961 and held for six months. Most people do not want to talk about those of us that were part of The Expeditionary Forces of the time.
