Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)Certainly, this book is a grand read, a real page turner from beginning to the end. I can tell you first hand that Garry Cooper, not only was correct about the technical aspect which kept me interested, but was able to also add color for the non-flying public as well. I was not aware of the position of the Aussie government with regard to the accolades of the American combat awards, which steams me. I hardly ever read books a second time. However, this one might just generate the urge for me to revisit it in the future, it was that interesting.
As a writer myself, I am very impressed with Cooper's presentation and its continuity which kept me on the edge of my seat. I recommend this book to anyone who wants a grand read. This book is a great representation of the real story, and what it was like as a Forward Air Controller in Vietnam.

Gary Cooper shares many of his experiences from the Vietnam War where, as an Australian air controller, he was posted to the U.S. Army's 9th Infantry Division in Vietnam in 1968, and was soon a legend to his peers. This biography details why Cooper was called a war hero by those he served with as well as how he was nominated for some of the highest U.S. military awards possible but never received them, including the Silver Star, Bronze Star, Purple Heart, and Army Commendation Medal.
