Waiting For Willie Pete: A Helicopter Novel of Vietnam
No Customer Reviews
Men at war in the skies over Vietnam. Captain Ahearn is obsessed with his demons. Huey pilot Calvin Palmer confronts his own demons to save his fellow fliers. Waiting For Willie Pete describes the madness, obsession, futility, and ultimate triumph of the human spirit in the skies over Vietnam. It contains a great love story as well. Take off with Huey crews. Hear their arcane jargon on the radios. Witness their profane, irreverent swagger. Listen to their drunken, boastful bravado as they drink away each day's aerial combat. See their tender concern for their comrades in the face of daily peril, and be present as they mourn the loss of fellow aviators. Finally, watch them triumph over futility to discover a noble purpose in protecting each other. As company first sergeant Top Quillig says, 'War is not on fields of battle; War is in the hearts & minds of men.'
