520    ""As a first lieutenant in the 11th Armored Cavalry 
       Regiment, U.S. Army pilot David Porter was section leader 
       in an Aerial Scout platoon in Vietnam. Their mission was 
       to conduct reconnaissance in OH-6 aircraft (a.k.a. Light 
       Observation Helicopter or "Loach") near the Cambodian 
       border. Finding and engaging the enemy at low altitude in 
       coordination with an AH-1 Cobra gunship circling above, 
       these units developed a remarkable method of fighting the 
       Viet Cong: Hunter-Killer Operations. The tactic had great 
       local success but died with the war. Few today are aware 
       of the hazards these pilots faced during times of intense 
       combat. Porter's vivid memoir recounts the internal 
       workings of a legendary air cavalry troop, in-the-cockpit 
       combat actions, and the men who were key players on this 
       perilous battleground."-Provided by publisher"--|cProvided
