shainbourassa Posted December 16, 2014 Report Share Posted December 16, 2014 I just finished reading: To The Limit by Tom Johnson. It is his story of his time as a 1st CAV WO Huey Aviator. It is an awesome read and I high recommend it. Anyone have any other good books? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

StockTrader Posted December 17, 2014 Report Share Posted December 17, 2014 I feel like Chicken Hawk, Night Stalkers, and Low Level Hell are right of passage readings for any army aviator or aviator wannabe. Probably right up there with 5's and 9's 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jhanner1 Posted December 17, 2014 Report Share Posted December 17, 2014 I agree, someone on here mentioned a book about a 58 or 60 pilot in Afghanistan recently. Anyone know the name of it?I can't find the thread. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Probably right up there with 5's and 9'sIf you haven't read to the limit I would suggest it I'm sure it would fit right in that rating of yours.

apacheguy Posted December 17, 2014 Report Share Posted December 17, 2014 Jimmy Doolittle's autobiography "I could never be so lucky again". Yes he retired as an Air Force General, but he spent decades as an Army aviator. http://www.amazon.com/Could-Never-Be-Lucky-Again/dp/0553584642/ref=sr_1_1?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1418787387&sr=1-1&keywords=i+could+never+be+so+lucky+again Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lindsey Posted December 17, 2014 Report Share Posted December 17, 2014 If you read Low Level Hell have a box of tissues handy as you mourn the loss of the scout mission as we know it with the departure of the 58D. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lindsey Posted December 17, 2014 Report Share Posted December 17, 2014 My list:Low Level HellDustoffTo the LimitNightstalkersRoberts Ridge. I've read them all, and I recommend doing the same, time permitting. But the above are the ones I find myself dusting off on the shelves and coming back to reread. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AS350 pilot Posted December 17, 2014 Report Share Posted December 17, 2014 "Heli Logging in a sucker hole" by Bart C. was a fun read. "The Rise and Fall of Captain Methane" by Dorcy Wingo was a awesome book too. He also wrote "Wind Loggers" and it was good too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

annerajb Posted December 18, 2014 Report Share Posted December 18, 2014 I got the audio books of Nighstalkers and In the company of heroes and listened to them while I recovered from my PRK. Great books and I agree that they should be a must read. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
