Halfway around the world, a new American air-mobile force feverishly assembles and trains. And in a place called Pleiku, the two sides come together in a horrific bloody clash. The were the swift, the the 1st Air Cav. For one long furious month the newly formed Air Cavalry and the NVA went toe to toe, as the Air Cave unleashed a new form of helicopter warfare and the NVA sent human waves after American-held targets. In this classic book, journalist and military hero J.D.
