Description
The helicopter war in Vietnam was a defining moment in modern military history. For those who flew low and slow, it was a constant battle for survival. The aeroscouts of the 1st Infantry Division, known as the Low Level Hell crew, were the aerial eyes of their unit, tasked with searching for the enemy from the Cambodian border to the Iron Triangle. These young pilots, usually just 19 to 22 years old, faced unimaginable dangers on every mission. With only three words emblazoned on their unit patch - "Low Level Hell" - they captured the essence of their experience in a concise and powerful definition. This is their story, told as it happened, with no embellishment or hindsight. The result is a gripping account of life as an aviator in one of the most intense conflicts of the 20th century.
