A Cry For Mercy In The Night: A Personal History of the 571st Medical Detachment (Helicopter Ambulance)

This is a chronicle, in verse, of my personal journey to, through and after serving in a Dustoff unit in Vietnam. Dustoff units provided front line medical evacuation of the wounded from the battlefield to the field hospital in unarmed, fragile, flammable UH-1H helicopters. Our ships drew enemy fire at a rate seven times higher than any other aircraft flying in the combat zone and our crews suffered casualties of one in three completing these missions of mercy. The dedication, courage and personal cost of this endeavor on the men of these units has been both grievous and inspiring. I was privileged to have served in country with these men for twenty-two months and twenty days, and blessed with the opportunity to memorialize their actions. I have tried to write with honesty, compassion and unblinking truth about my military experience in a format designed to illustrate feelings over facts as I believe memories of war are stored in the hearts of veterans, not the textbooks of scholars.

Bones One Zero: Racing the Reaper in Iraq

Adventures of a US Army Flight Medic and his Air Medevac unit operating in Iraq. The book is a true account and a rare look into one of the most specialized aviation units in the military, Air Medevac. Strap in, hook up, and hang on as you ride in stripped down Blackhawks into battle to pick up America's warriors when they need it the most. Share in the highs and lows of their mission, and the epic pranks that take place when high energy crews need to blow off steam. BONES ONE ZERO is written for the American people who can get a glimpse of what a deployments without having to deal with the heat, sandstorms, rules, and pesky terrorists. BONES ONE ZERO is what happens when MASH and Super Troopers have a baby.
