"A Hundred Feet Over Hell" is the story of a handful of young pilots taking extraordinary risks to support those on the ground. Flying over Vietnam in two-seater Cessnas, they often made the difference between a soldier returning alive to his family or having the lonely sound of "Taps" played over his grave. Based on extensive interviews, and often in the men's own words, "A Hundred Feet Over Hell" puts the reader in the plane as this intrepid band of U.S. Army aviators calls in fire support for the soldiers and marines of I Corps. Warriors don't fight for their country or flag, they fight for each other, often going far beyond what their country asks. It was an honor to serve at the same time as these men. This story is about the nation's best! --Lance W. Lord, Gen., USAF (ret) A moving tribute to the men that flew these small aircraft with skill, courage, determination--and a whole lot of brass. --Mike Seely, Brig. Gen., USA (ret) It's about the sheer guts, ingenuity, compassion, and humor of those who serve, and a tribute to the Catkillers and the thousands who follow in their footsteps. --Brig. Gen. Robert H. Holmes, USAF Flying unarmored aircraft well within the range of enemy weapons takes a special breed of heroes. From hell-raising antics in the clubs to hair-raising combat operations where death was often only inches away, this is a must read. --Gary L. Harrell, Lt. Gen., USA (ret)
