James V. Weatherill served as an Army helicopter pilot in Vietnam
from November 1967 to November 1968. His memoir, THE BLADES CARRY
ME: INSIDE THE HELICOPTER WAR IN VIETNAM, takes the reader into the
CH-47 Chinook helicopter cockpit and the daily life of a
22-year-old pilot. The young man must reconcile his ideals of
patriotism, courage, and honor with the reality and politics of a
war where victory is measured by body-count ratios instead of
territory gained or lost. When it's time to go home, he realizes
he'll leave more than war behind. On the home front, the pilot's
wife, Annie, provides a counterpoint as a pregnant college senior
and military spouse during an unpopular war. With letters and tape
recordings their sole means of communication, how will they grow up
without growing apart?
