Samenvatting

"For the first time, a book written that is about the honest daily occurrences and multiple battles of a real airman in Vietnam. These were battles like others, in which people died and others became heroes. Battles in which crews looked death in the face multiple times each day, flying into places without the security of arms or cover, the stress of actual war. Tom Stalvey's wishes to enlist and study at the great Air Force electronics schools at the time did not come to pass. Instead he was assigned tothe very âelite and extremely dangerous role of an enlisted aircrew member. The courses these young men completed were considered complete college courses, equal to obtaining a degree in a matter of months. The duty aboard the Lockheed C-130 Hercules as a weight and balance Technician or Loadmaster was and still is essential. He was destined to end up in Vietnam after two and a half years of training and protocol. Only a slight recess was given these airmen as these young men were handed the keys to three fourths of a C-130 aircraft. Most of them averaged 22 years of age. Trained at doing their jobs by the book they soon learned that doing so in Vietnam could cost time and lives. Great at modifying plans on the run, many were awarded our nation's highestwar time decorations. Laugh out loud as you follow a young boy into what must have been The start of The Lucky Loadmaster's ironic heavenly inspired protection and cry for the pain of his broken body!"--

Hoe controleren en plaatsen wij reviews? Hoe controleren en plaatsen wij reviews?

Negatief, positief, neutraal: we zetten een review altijd online. We controleren wel eerst of ’ie voldoet aan onze reviewvoorwaarden en niet nep is. We controleren ook of ’ie is geschreven door iemand die het artikel heeft gekocht via bol.com en zetten dit er dan bij. De controles gebeuren automatisch, al kijken er soms mensen mee. Bol.com betaalt niet voor reviews. Als een reviewer door een andere partij is vergoed, staat dit in de review zelf.
