Book excerpt: "There was a saying that popped back into my mind the other day that was made by a war corespondent over in Vietnam. He said, 'Army pilots are God's lunatics.' Thinking about everything I've done, he was right." In this memoir/biography Richard Kessler takes us from the time he was 17 and heading off to Vietnam to the events of Desert Storm where he was one of four chopper pilots who began the conflict. Being raised in a family that only knew Air Force and Army bases as home, this war hero tells tales of horror, humor, suspense, routine, misery, joy, duty, courage, and satisfaction for jobs well done. Please join Richard as he grows from grunt to pilot, you'll love the journey!
