   Holy Cow...The Jolly Green pilots were even more heroic than I thought! Read this book to get a true feeling of what it was like day by day for a Jolly Green pilot --- in the cockpit on harrowing rescue missions, and on the ground with lots of obstacles. As a Navy combat pilot who flew over the same area as described in this book, and also one who was rescued by the Jolly Greens, I still never fully realized how really dangerous the average Jolly mission was ‘till reading this book. And, the author has done a superb job of describing the Jolly pilot's interesting, but harsh and dangerous living conditions up north when not flying. Written with an evident heart felt emotion, it's a quick read.                                  KF

   This was a fast-paced, easy book to read. Good insight on the war, the Vietnamese, also the dynamics of our soldiers in a foreign land. I was amazed at his factual first-hand account supported by photos and documents. Written in a no-nonsense, straight-shooting style that commanded attention and encouraged "reading between the lines" . . . thought provoking. It stayed with me long after I read the last page. The white light was awesome evidence of God's protection. Thank you Dave (and Kaye!) for your sacrifice and service through a very confusing and painful time in history.                                                         SO

   I read this book from cover to cover in just a few hours. This book grabbed my attention from the first page and held it all the way to the end. I could not let go. This is a first hand story of how things really happened over in Vietnam. This story is told from the heart of a truly amazing man. This book is filled with great rescues and some amazing photos. I highly recommend this book for everyone. Thank you Sir for your service and sharing it with us.               SB
