If you have been enjoying this blog about old Charlie the H-34 and all things helicopter, and some of the stories I have written about my experiences as a pilot of these machines in Vietnam, then you will like my book.
TITLE:
"The ADVENTURES OF A HELICOPTER PILOT"
'Flying the H-34 in Vietnam for the United States Marine Corps'
by Captain Bill Collier, USMCR.
"This is the journal of an honest, down to earth, self-deprecating, capable, and above all, courageous American in some of the most difficult circumstances in this nation's history. The pages fly by and as they do, I see more clearly the superb character of a hero with a sense of humor. We need more like him and they are getting more and more rare. Attention must be paid!" Ben Stein, Actor/Author, man of many talents.
"Bill
Collier knows what it means to go into harm's way, and he never hesitated when
there was a hazardous mission to be accomplished. Just ask the guys he rescued, and the Marines
he served with." Major
General Larry Taylor USMCR (ret.)

For the first 10 people who write a review on amazon, I have a free copy of my 25 minute historical documentary, "The Rescue of Raven 1-1." Buy the book, read it, post a review and then let me know so I can send you the DVD.
Thank you,

Good morning CPT Collier,
ReplyDeleteJust finished your books and I was hoping to talk with you. I'm a prior service Recon Marine, now a commissioned officer in the Army who is thinking about branch transferring to aviation. If you'd be willing to give me some advice please email Benjamin.p.groce.mil@mail.mil or bpgroce@yahoo.com
Thanks Boss

ReplyDeleteBill, I just finished 'CIA Super Pilot...'. My Dad was a USMC pilot, WWII & Korea. I was an Army then FAA controller and civilian commercial pilot. I spent my year at DakTo, in the highlands, 68-69. "Welcome home, brother...."
ReplyDeleteCheck out my ten book series, "The Indomitable Patriot." It's historically accurate fiction of the OSS/CIA and military from 1940 to the present. Stay safe....
