Chariots in the Sky

Larry A. Freeland

A dedicated U. S. Army assault helicopter pilot in Vietnam just wants to do his job and return home to his wife and family. But to do so, he has to survive harrowing combat missions, bad weather, mechanical problems, human error, and a commander who is more interested in personal glory and promotion than his men’s well-being. Along the way, he participated in the last major American combat operation of the war—Lam Son 719, a major incursion into Laos, which lasted sixty days and was the costliest period of the war for helicopter pilots and crew members. Duration - 9h 34m. Author - Larry A. Freeland. Narrator - Derek Shetterly. Published Date - Monday, 22 January 2024. Copyright - © 2021 Larry A. Freeland ©.
