"The risk of a fatal catastrophe was constant. The NVA was the
enemy, but the ultimate opponent was, quite simply, death. . . ."
For assault helicopter crews flying in and around the NVA-infested
DMZ, the U.S. pullout from Vietnam in 1970-71 was a desperate time
of selfless courage. Now former army warrant officer Tom Marshall
of the Phoenix, C Company, 158th Aviation Battalion, 101st
Airborne, captures the deadly mountain terrain, the long hours
flown under enormous stress, the grim determination of hardened
pilots combat-assaulting through walls of antiaircraft fire, the
pickups amid exploding mortar shells and hails of AK fire, the
nerve-racking string extractions of SOG teams from North Vietnam. .
. . And, through it all, the rising tension as helicopter pilots
and crews are lost at an accelerating pace.
It is no coincidence that the Phoenix was one of the most highly
decorated assault helicopter units in I Corps. For as the American
departure accelerated and the enemy added new, more powerful
antiaircraft weapons, the helicopter pilots, crew chiefs, and
gunners paid the heavy price of withdrawal in blood. For more than
30 Percent of Tom Marshall's 130 helicopter-school classmates, the
price of exit was their lives. . . .
