Exceptional book. Not quite as good as “the ultimate Vietnam book†as promised when I bought it but great nonetheless. It captures the training, how he became a helicopter pilot, the mundane part of life and the drinking and whoring of most in Vietnam.But where it excels is describing the missions “set this bird down in the smallest spot possible under fire heavily loaded with troops or equipment and pick up the wounded for the returnâ€. Did that sound like too much? It was. And that is where the book excels.Let me first say: this guy was a brilliant pilot and conveys that well in here! Small nuances about landings no one could make but he makes. The tumble down a mountain side to gain speed when he stalls. This guy should be dead at least 5 times.Little Time is spent on his return but just enough. He struggled, he excelled, he spends nights with PTSD, he tumbled in to marijuana smuggling and spent time in jail. All the while he unlocked this brilliant book he had inside him. He has a follow up, After ChickenHawk which I have bought to read also.I couldn’t recommend this book higher although there are slow spots. As a companion book from a North Vietnam perspective read “When Heaven and Earth Changed Placesâ€.
I had read “We Were Soldiers Once and Young†in December of 2012; I found this accounting of both Landing Zone X-Ray and then Landing Zone Albany of the Vietnam War riveting and flush with detail. I had appreciated that Mr. Joe Galloway added to the near end of his experience in Landing Zone X-Ray paid tribute to Dickie Chappelle as she was killed stepping on a landmine while the battle raged elsewhere for the men of “X-Rayâ€. The book by General Hal Moore and Mr. Joe Galloway should be a book read first prior to reading “Chickenhawk†– I for one am happy it just happened this way for me. The accounting of these battles in the Ia Drang Valley by Moore and Galloway give credence to the brave efforts of young soldiers on the ground and the pilots and crew members of the many slicks that fed the battle with dust-offs, re-supply, and fresh incoming troops.Mr. Mason’s memoire captures an accounting of the Vietnam War first through the eyes of young exuberant American boy who simply wanted to fly. In a very short but descriptive fashion we read of his training, early assignment to Ft. Belvoir – Alexandria, VA; and, then-sooner-than-hoped reassignment to the First Cavalry Division (Air Mobility). Reading through this torrential hell of the many valleys and outposts in Vietnam we the readers see the deep truth to the cynicism behind the events as they occur. Books by authors who write of their accounts of History and as they perceive it to have been all have this common thread in each of their books; Mr. Mason spent a lot of time recounting all of this and I can speculate it was for his own sanity later.Occasionally along the way we witness an honest caring side of Mr. Mason for the local Vietnamese people; he becomes amazed with their own ability of survivability and their engineering techniques that are considered (then) by most to be primitive; Mr. Mason acknowledges how important this is to the farmer of Vietnam. The book “Street Without Joy†is referenced along with Dr. Bernard B. Fall three times at various stages and based on conversations he recalls at the time. A revelation occurs when Mr. Mason acknowledges that neither JFK nor LBJ used Dr. Fall’s experience nor his books to better understand the Vietnamese as a people – Dr. Fall had embedded with the French in the early 1950’s and wrote a Historically significant accounting of the differences of the Vietnamese people and of how the French were losing the effort. This is something that became lost in my view with regard to the Gulf of Tonkin Resolution of August 1964. Mr. Mason wrote a truthful and outstanding book of his experiences. I was a bit disappointed that he didn’t reveal when he actually received the DFC. In no way does this diminish the significance of the book.I most certainly appreciated the new “Afterward†Mr. Mason inserted some 20+ years later after the first edition of this book. To all the Vietnam Veterans who served and believed they were doing good (regardless of your personal views later and regardless whether those views are “for†or “against†the war) I thank you – God Bless you! Welcome Home!
As a combat infantry veteran (aka "Grunt") of the Vietnam War I can fully appreciate this author's work. The concept of using helicopters as the primary means of inserting, supporting and extracting ground troops into hostile jungle territory was initiated in 1965 by the 1st Cavalry Division, dubbed "Airmobile" for this reason. The most famous "test" of this concept occurred at Landing Zones X-Ray and Albany in the Ia Drang Valley during November of that year under the command of Lt. Col. Harold "Hal" Moore, and is documented in both his written work and the highly acclaimed movie "We Were Soldiers." Mr. Mason served as a Warrant Officer / Pilot of the infamous "Huey" helicopter during this as well as countless other Combat Assault and other missions.Mason's writing is masterful; entertaining, highly credible and convincing. He takes us with him through the rigors of "chopper school" and subsequently half way around the world to Vietnam where he witnesses and experiences the sheer brutality of war. Chopper pilots and crews not only worked under extremely dangerous conditions for extended periods, but also worked exhausting schedules. The accounts of everyday life for him are a revelation to others who served in different capacities. Infantry soldiers naturally consider their personal battle experiences as the most graphic and dangerous, but after reading an account such as "Chickenhawk" we have to admit that while our life on the ground was not enviable, life in the air was no better, and often times much worse. I served a couple years later on the ground with the 1st Cavalry. We considered the choppers as our "lifeline" then, and we appreciate them even more today, attributing our survival in large part to their efforts and sacrifices.As with many who experienced the Vietnam War personally, Mason unfortunately brought the war home with him in the form of Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD). His experience was the basis for the highly acclaimed book "Recovering from the War" by his wife Patience H. C. Mason.My review cannot fully communicate the value of this exceptionally well written work. I recommend it highly to all those who served, but also to anyone touched personally by the Vietnam War, whether it be family, friend or others simply interested. And finally, I salute you Mr. Mason for your service and dedication; it has not been forgotten.David B.
