I first read the book in 1983 while stationed at Quantico VA as a huey crewchief in the Marines.
My roommate who loaned me the book was killed in a helicopter crash in Panama some 7 years later.
I can't imagine the stress that a Vietnam pilot must have gone thru

Finished Chickenhawk last night for the second time (about 20 years after I first read it). I just sat up in bed for a time and thought how lucky I was. I've passed it today to my son who's 20 and told him to read it. I hope you and your family are well.

I love your book, Chickenhawk and have read it several times. I was a Huey crewchief in a Medevac unit at Fort Polk, LA in the '70s. I once looked up your phone number and actually spoke to you! I was so nervous and tongue-tied that I'm sure you thought I was a nut but you were still gracious. Thank you for writing this wonderful book.

Mr Mason,
My 1st cy of Chickenhawk I loaned to every fellow former doorgunner or pilot I knew, and lost it. Today I purchased another copy and it will remain a treasured part of my personal library. I'm a civilian pilot now. If I flew over to High Springs one afternoon, I wonder if it would be possible to have you autograph my new copy?
Thank you for your service. Welcome home, Brother.

Your book may have saved my life, back in the summer of 1989. I was training at Fort Irwin and had just finished reading your book. I loved to ride in helicopters and took every opportunity, but after reading your book I vowed never to ride in a helicopter again unless it was absolutely necessary. That night we lost an entire black hawk crew except for the door gunner.

Just checked your book, Chickenhawk out of the prison where I'm a guard. It was an amazing revelation! I was in the Corps back in '79-'83 where I was a CH-46 crewman. Spent 6 months flying missions over Beirut in '82. Thank you so much for sharing your experiences! Especially the ugly, hard to share ones.

Bob,
I've read Chickenhawk at least twice, cover to cover. But I just keep it out all the time, pick it up and start reading when I feel like it. I recently bought it as a birthday present for a friend and read the Afterword that isnt in my old copy. I am now 42 and back in school. I took a history class on Vietnam last semester. We had two Vietnam vets in to talk to us. I learned a lot from them and the class. Anyway, thank you very much for writing your book. Dennis Loucks

My husband Jeff and I just finished reading Chickenhawk.Thank you for writing it and for your honesty. We were both born in 1962, so we don't remember much about The Vietnam War. Jeff was an officer in the Marines in the First Gulf War and my brother lost a battle with cancer after he served in the Army in the First Gulf War. I felt a great sense of pride when I read your story. Thank you for your service to our country and for writing about it. We both feel like we learned so much from you.

Hi Bob,

I had told you to watch out for my article in the February
Rotor & Wing...they were trying to get it into their Rotorcraft
Report but have decided to run it as a full feature in March
instead. I hope you'll enjoy reading about my friend from the
227th in Lai Khe.

An incredible story, and one that I have passed on to many of my friends.

It really does sum up what an insane world we live in. I'm not ashamed to say it brought a tear to my eye on more than one occasion.

It is so important that the future generations read such accounts so they can see the truth behind these pointless wars.

Great photography too Bob.

Few books have ever made such an impression on me. I even recommended it to Mexican fans. http://www.facebook.com/?ref=home#!/page s/The-Mexican-Horse-Thief/287374932716?r ef=ts
