Summary
"This is the dramatic story of the HA(L)-3 Seawolves, the U.S. Navy's first and only helicopter gunship squadron of the Vietnam War. The squadron was established "in country" to support the fast, pugnacious river patrol boats of the brown-water navy." "Gleaned from historical documents and the colorful recollections of more than sixty Seawolf warriors, Fire from the Sky is the first complete history of the most decorated navy squadron of the Vietnam War. Naval aviator Richard Knott recounts the story of the Seawolves from the dawning of the concept to the moment the last squadron commander turned off the lights."--BOOK JACKET.
