Mobi Vietnam: A Tale Of Two Tours with FREE EASY Reading Download Now!

A U.S. Army helicopter pilot's candid first-hand account and photos of his Vietnam experience in the air and on the ground at the height of US troop strength and then again when he returned for a second tour of duty at the very end of the war. It is a non-political description of what life was really like for him and others who served with him in Vietnam. The author describes a first tour in the Central Highlands while assigned to the 4th Infantry Division as a pilot in an Assault Helicopter Company flying the UH-1H (Huey) and later during his first tour as an OH-6A Light Observation Helicopter (LOH) pilot assigned to an Infantry Brigade. The book includes a description of combat assaults, the Cambodian Invasion, ground an air tactics, people he met and worked with, helicopter operations, rescues, combat in the air and on the ground, leadership, unit life and living at four different locations, everyday camp life and conditions, as well as many vignettes as to things both good and bad he witnessed during his first tour. The author continues his book with a history of his second tour around Saigon while assigned to an Air Cavalry Troop and how much the war and other things had changed from his first tour. Events recounted include the Air Cavalry Troop mission and life at Bien Hoa, the cease fire and post-cease fire support missions, moving to Saigon and experiences living there, meeting his former enemy, the prisoner of war exchange, being shot down after the cease fire began, and being on the final flight out of combat troops that closed out the war for America. He closes with his overall reflections on his wartime service. A must for those who want to know what it was really like to be there without the hype, politics, or hidden agenda that usually is part of any Vietnam War story.

Mobi Vietnam: A Tale Of Two Tours with FREE EASY Reading!

Vietnam - A Tale of two tours isn't your normal helicopter pilots memoirs of the conflict. A lot of the book is dedicated to imparting knowledge about the different helicopters and their roles, the areas James Mooney operated in, perspectives on the conflict at a higher level rather than just from the authors standpoint. This adds a lot more context to the book and makes some of the things the author discusses easier to understand.Although James Mooney flew two tours, most of the book is dedicated to his first tour. The second tour being shorter as it happened during the time that America was actually pulling out of Vietnam. James Mooney possibly has the dubious distinction of being the last helicopter pilot shot down in Vietnam.Dotted throughout the book (this is the ebook version I'm reviewing) are lots of little thumbnail pictures (that you can enlarge but they don't scale very well) which add nicely to the narrative.Although the author does give you details about specific flights that happened during his tour, its not really the edge of the seat narrative that you find in the likes of "Gunship Pilot" or "Low Level Hell". Mr. Mooney conveys his flight stories in more of a matter of fact way rather than taking you inside the helicopter with him and giving you a first person perspective like the books mentioned above. This doesn't detract from the book however and it is still a good read however I would have liked to have seen more memories/stories of actual flights.
