Summer Help Brian W Paine

"Summer Help" is a true story about a "kid" who volunteered for Army Aviation Helicopter training just to be able to fly and ended up assigned to the U. S. Army's First Special Operations Helicopter unit which became the legacy for the current 160th Aviation Brigade, flying top secret operations around the world today. Attached to 5th Special Forces Group Vietnam and assigned to its ultra-elite and highly Classified unit, "PROJECT DELTA," the guys of the 281st Assault Helicopter Company found themselves flying support missions deep behind enemy lines under extreme weather and terrain conditions. This chronicle ends with his return home and his reception by society, friends and family as a man changed by his participation in an unpopular war.
