Book Reviews of Firebirds: The Best First Person Account of Helicopter Combat in Vietnam Ever Written

Book Review: A bit too fractured...
Summary: 4 Stars

I've picked up and read just about every Vietnam helicopter book out there. While this book is good, it is more a collection of short stories than a flowing book. I found my mind constantly changing gears as a different story was told. The stories are great, no question, but I would have preferred that they connected a little better.
