Good reading for UH-1H

[JesseJames38]

In preping for the release of the UH-1 helicopter i decided to look around and see if i can find me a good manual on it. I did stumble acrost this manual from google books. 190 some pages long. lots of technical information from cargo limits to operation limits.

That's older version of what's available. We have a documentation thread here but the link to the original seems dead again. I uploaded the 1988 manual to my drive though.

Here's the link:

Thanks for the updated link. as for the chickenhawk book its not quite what i had in mine when starting this post. I started it to help get technical information on the helicopter on how it works, starts up. flys and operating limits.

Many stories from Navy Seawolves in Vietnam. This particular story has 15 parts so there's enough text for a book! I've read the Chickenhawk (very recommended) and Low Level Hell and this is at least comparable. Very entertaining. If you are not patient, you can start directly from this action packed part:

Thanks to Sundowner for these!

A book about Seawolves in the Mekong delta. If this is anything like the stories in the above link, I'm buying this! That stuff was just as good as Chickenhawk.

Chickenhawk. A must read for every Huey pilot (and definately every other helicopter pilot)!

Low Level Hell! My favorite book of all time! That's why I vote for a OH-6/MD-500 module (realistically, an OH-58 to be relevant on the modern battlefield).

Chickenhawk is the ultimate Book about Hueys at all time!

Half way through a great book about the dustoff crews in Vietnam.

Gentlemen I do not know if you have heard about this book.

I do own a lot of books about helicopter operations in Vietnam and along Chickenhawk, this one is my very favourite.

 

 

Real good. I highly recommend it.

 

 

Must be well valued, look at the price in Amazon :cry:

 

If you can find it somewhere, buy it. It is really worth.

[BIGNEWY]

Thanks Furia, will look for that one.

 

I must say chickenhawk is one of the best books I have read, an amazing story

Found this one on Amazon as well (Amazon UK). 4 pounds + about 4 pounds shipping for good quality used book. When I read about it here I immediately bought it (because I really enjoyed Chickenhawk as well). Now waiting for it to arrive :)

[EagleEye]

"Wings of the Eagle" arrived today. Did not thought that i will get it before the Huey...:music_whistling:

[sSkullZnBoneZz]

Here's another great book on Hueys in Vietnam. I read Chickenhawk back in the 80's, which was a great book. This book is just as good...

if you have ever been in the military and waited to be picked up by a helicopter, this will mean something to you

Very well done.

Nice counterpoint to the image "Full Metal Jacket" left festering in our brains.

I wasn't there (graduated high school in '74), but that still moves me.

 

Thanks for sharing that.
