One of the best Vietnam novels. A classic!

I have listened to my fair share of novels, biographies, and compilations of war novels. By that I mean close to a hundred on Audible alone. Mr. Corvin’s book is by far one of the best, most exciting, and enthralling accounts I have ever had the pleasure to read.

He was a Loach pilot, a gunship pilot, and his harrowing retelling of all that he experienced while serving in the US Army is, in my opinion, one of the rawest, truest, and no-bullshit accounts of the Vietnam war. Far from being a self-loathing, hyper-critical veteran, Mr. Corvin was and is a warfighter in the truest sense of that word. He did his duty, bar-none, every time.

This book is a page-turner and story after story surprises the reader as it takes them up to the very last days of combat operations in the war and beyond. Stan was one of the last 600 Americans fighting and flying for the CIA eventually in country and it amazed me how much went on in Vietnam after the great battles and operations of the 60s.

Eerie and electric come to mind, as I wished the story went on for hours longer. I am, however, grateful that his Saga did come to an end in Vietnam and he lived (barely) to tell his story. Do not pass this book up.
