Description
Have you ever wanted to pull up the curtain and look at what the US Army was really like during the Vietnam War?
From enlistment through Basic, Officer, and Flight training, veteran pilot Richard Guay will take you on a journey many have never witnessed...
Sit with Richard in the cockpit of the venerable UH-1 Huey helicopter as he maneuvers the sky to accomplish missions, protect his troops, and put to the test his years of training to stop the spread of Communism in Southeast Asia.
Through a journey from steamy jungles to war-torn skies over battlefields, Richard's raw and informative recollection is a story not only of war, but of brotherhood and the will to survive. Through countless helicopter flights, readers will experience both the fear and the excitement of war firsthand.
Vietnam Warhorse is a thrilling memoir detailing years of US Army training, helicopter warfare tactics, and piloting techniques employed during actual enemy engagement. With a touch of humor, this is an intense and fresh perspective on the Vietnam War for anyone interested in history or aviation!

What a great read!
If you ever served in the military, went through boot camp or basic training, and especially if you ever went to flight training-and ultimately anyone who ever went to war-read this book.

'Equal measure humour, action and sheer terror. I read this true story in one sitting. Commander Brad Vincent, Royal Australian Navy, author of 'Far from Breaking Waves'. He gives you insight into some serious, some tragic, and some funny war stories as "you are there" with him. His stories will spark similar memories in any Vietnam veteran helicopter pilots, myself included. Reviewer - Walter Sipes, PhD, Tucson, AZ. 282nd Assault Helicopter Company,
5.0 out of 5 stars A gripping and personal memoir Reviewed in Australia on 18 September 2024
Puts the reader in the pilot's seat and gives an exciting and raw picture of what it was really like to fly helicopters in action in Vietnam. The author describes mundane routine and humorous incidents but doesn't hold back on the grim business of war.

Richard Guay's book returns us to a time in history when nations and their citizens were at odds with each other over this war in Vietnam. In the telling of events during that time by one who participated bravely in two tours of this conflict, it is a timely reminder that peace is not a natural state; we have to fight for it. The humorous anecdotes lightened the load along the way. Well done, Huey Man. Lest we forget. Janell.
