This is a chronicle, in verse, of my personal journey to, during and after serving in a Dustoff unit in Vietnam.
Dustoff units provided front line medical evacuation of the wounded from the battlefield to the field hospital in unarmed, fragile, flammable UH-1H helicopters.
Our ships drew enemy fire at a rate seven times higher than any other aircraft flying in the combat zone and our crews suffered casualties of one in three completing these missions of mercy.
The dedication, courage and pers.
