Description
Chariots in the Sky tells the story of Captain Taylor St. James, an Army helicopter pilot sent to Vietnam. His experiences are marked by challenges and tests beyond his imagination.
Assigned to the Eagles, a Huey Assault Company with the 101st Airborne Division, Taylor's flying exploits take him into various locations, including A Shau Valley, Khe Sanh, Quang Tri Province, Hue, DMZ, North Vietnam, and Laos. He participates in Lam Son 719, the last major American Offensive Operation of the war.
This historical campaign lasted for sixty days and involved over 750 helicopters flying in and out of Laos, supporting the South Vietnamese incursion into Laos. The period was marked by significant helicopter losses, with more aircraft shot down and sustained battle damage than any other during the Vietnam War.
