Gunbird driver

"David Ballentine recalls his experiences as a young pilot flying an armed UH-IE with Marine Observation Squadron Six in Vietnam. Like any good war memoir, parts of the book are deadly serious, even sad, while others are filled with thrilling, often humorous descriptions of squadron life during the early stages of the war. The book provides little-known detail about the missions, operations, and living conditions at Ballentine's base in Ky Ha, shortly before the Tet Offensive. Chapters on the young lieutenant's deployment on board USS Princeton offer a fascinating look at shipboard operations in the mid-1960s."--Jacket.
