The listed price is $31.95, however, you may obtain a signed copy for $29.95, shipping included, by sending a check or money order to: John Brennan, 17355 Via Annette, San Lorenzo, CA 94580
P.S. Listed in the book are 35 copter names attributed to A/3/17
P.P.S You are welcome to preview the first 20 pages by accessing the publisher’s website at http://www.hellgatepress.com and clicking on the .pdf hyperlink
Just a reminder, this is a two book series, this first one lists all of the named Army helos in Nam. The next one will feature beautiful nose art mostly, and several dozen anecdotes. They are a tandem set that go hand-in-hand and compliment each other.
