About this product

Product Information

"19 Minutes to Live" illustrates the incredible courage and determination of helicopter pilots and crews supporting those heroes that carried a rucksack and a rifle in Vietnam. Over 12,000 helicopters were used in the Vietnam War, which is why it became known as "The Helicopter War." Almost half of the helicopters, 5,086, were lost. Helicopter pilots and crews accounted for nearly 10 percent of all the US casualties suffered in Vietnam, with nearly 5,000 killed and an untold number of wounded. Lew Jennings flew over 700 Air Cavalry Cobra Gunship Helicopter missions and received Three Distinguished Flying Crosses for Valor. This memoir describes first-hand the harrowing experiences of helicopter pilots and crews in combat operations, from the far South to the DMZ, including the infamous Ashau Valley, Hamburger Hill, LZ Airborne and others.

    Excellent read!

    This book gives a great idea of the lives of Viet Nan era helicopter pilots. The times of comradship, sheer terror and bravery paint an interesting picture of the service of these true heros. I worked with a pilot from the 101st Cav. He was a great guy who bore plenty of scars from his combat duty. Thank God for guys like these, willing to risk their necks to save their brothers in arms. RIP Big Jack!

    The Cobra is different from other helicopters

    This is an excellent read if you have ever flown helicopters but never flew the Cobra- it is a different animal. Even if you never flew helicopters but like good first-person war stories, you will enjoy this book. For me, it was a return to a different time in my life.

    the best book ever!

    This book is the best! Its so well written and easy to read. I wanted to read it in one day, but had to put it down to think about what I read. My brother in law flew a Huey , served 2 tours in Nam, got shot down twice, but lived! He's my hero. I had no idea until I read this book how important he was. This book is so good I will reread it again. Im so glad I purchased this book. Thank you kindly for making it available. PEACE, LOVE, NATURE AND KINDNESS, USAF VETERAN

    U.S. Infantry and Marine's Best "Friend".

    The Helicopter and Helicopter Pilots were and ARE the Infantry soldiers best friend. I am one of those "Ruck and Rifle" guys that saw combat in Vietnam. The stories told in this book are true, because they are very similar to my experiences in Vietnam. Recon 2/1 Infantry, 196 LIB, Americal Division 1969-1970 - Semper Primus
