Hmmm. I would have never guessed Amazon would pick that up. I've had a copy for a couple months now. Cost me a heftier penny though.

That 34% off price is probably as cheap as it will ever be found. It has lots of new pics and narratives i haven't seen before, so it was definitely worth it. Then again I'm a RLI junky of the highest order.
Excellent, thanks for the review!

I spent my first tour as an infantry officer in a helo (read as heliborne-focused) company, so I was justly fascinated with getting the business of vertical envelopment done right.

Heliborne,Air Cav it's All good. There is a book I am trying to remember about a guy the was in the 1st of the 7th Air Cav Aero Rifle Platoon that was supposed to be the inspiration for the Air Assault in Apocalypse now. He received a battlefield commission to Lieutenant because of his exploits, it was a great book.....now if I can just remember the nameHaha, or at least Air Cav.

But I believe 1/7 was an airmobile infantry battalion. 1/9 was the air cav squadron with gunships, scouts, and aero-rifle platoons. They considered themselves "The Cav of the Cav."
