Tom Barber I read your book time and time again, I find it fascinating as someone who's too young to have known the war, I find all these books especially Chickenhawk a valuable insight into what happened out there. Tue, Nov 18, 2008 16:17 pm 1581

William Mancke I first read Chickenhawk when I was 12. My uncle gave me a copy and we sat on the front porch, pretending we were flying a Huey. I just turned 34, preparing to get married and began reading it again. Amazing telling of that part of your life. I am so glad I can look at this site and see photos of some of the events and people you wrote about. The action is fascinating and the letters home to your wife you transcribe are beautiful. I hope all is well. Thu, Nov 6, 2008 18:32 pm 1530

Scott Turner Bob, I bought my edition of Chickenhawk in 1983. It is yellow, faded, and somewhat worn. You have been an inspiration for 25 years. I hope you are doing well. Thank You for sharing this part of your life. Sat, Oct 18, 2008 17:21 pm 1460

David Plummer Just read Chickenhawk for the first time. Can't understand how long I went without knowing of the book's existence. I was a young serving member of the Canadian Army during that time and I remember talking with my buddies about going down to Detroit to sign up and learn how to fly helicopters. We didn't, seems like we made the right choice. Best account of a soldiers story I have ever read. I am going to the library find the follow up book l tonight. Fri, Oct 17, 2008 12:02 pm 1440

Kev Twyman Bob, I was a teenager in England at the time you were fighting, we saw the war on the news, but never realised what it was really like. Your book really brings it home, a fantastic, frightening story. Many thanks for sharing your experiences, and I wish you the best of luck in the future. Wed, Oct 15, 2008 12:20 pm 1431

Jesse Theiss Chickenhawk if favorite of mine... thanks! Mon, Oct 13, 2008 22:36 pm 1416

Nancy Miller H. I just finished CHICKENHAWK. Thank you for writing this memoir! I was moved to read it because a high school friend flew Hueys in Vietman (about 3 years after you left.....he flew with one of the two companies that you served with). Maybe now I could understand just a bit about what it must have been like for him. Mon, Oct 13, 2008 16:59 pm 1414

Joanne Allan Hi Bob. I have re- read Chickenhawk & I am still blown away with your story. The first reading was over 20 yrs ago and it is still the most powerful non-fiction personal account I have ever read. I am delighted to find you have written some more books and will be making a point of tracking down copies to read. All the very best to you and your family and thank you for sharing your journies with us. Joanne Sun, Oct 12, 2008 15:52 pm 1398

Neil Archer Hi Bob, I'm in the middle of reading Chickenhawk for the [damn I've lost count] time. Its a book I have gone back to time and again. Its great to actually see photos that add faces to the stories. I have the greatest respect for the armed forces of the free world, service men don't start conflicts they just have to pick up the pieces. Neil Wed, Oct 8, 2008 11:57 am 1369

Anthony Waters Hi Bob, I am an airline captain in Singapore. I have nearly finished reading your book (Chickenhawk) and have really enjoyed it. The photos on this website complete the story. Your book is very famous in Australian Aviation circles as 'the' book. I regularly fly over Phu Cat (PTH) but am too high to see much. I will be thinking of you guys in the Hueys from now on. Thanks for the good read. Tue, Oct 7, 2008 03:44 am 1362

Tim Sellicks Bob and Patience . To be so young, so far away from loved ones and in an alien culture would test anyones resolve. Compound that with the daily routine of terror and death, I as most people have no comprehension. It brings me to tears to see the disintegration of such a good man at the end of the book. It is wonderful to see that your marriage has endured. Anyone who thinks their life is not too good, read CH, it will put a whole new spin on things. All the best to you both.

M. Merrell Mr Mason. Thanks for sharing your story. I have only read Chickenhawk up to this point in time and I imagine your other books tell the rest of your story. I hope for the best for you and your family. I do have a question. As a pilot myself, as I understand it, mast bumping first started happening while we were in Vietnam. Do you know anyone who has ever experienced mast bumping without fatal results...lived to talk about it? I'd be curious to know your experiences with mast bumping. Sat, Sep 27, 2008 08:45 am 1280
