Warrant Officer Terry Crump was a Cobra gunship pilot who earned a near-unprecedented seven Distinguished Flying Crosses in his one-year tour in Vietnam. This is the untold story of the Pink Panthers, the 361st Aerial Weapons Company, an all-Cobra unit dedicated to supporting the secret war of MACVSOG. SOG, the so-called "Studies and Observation Group" sent small teams led by Special Forces commandos into Laos and Cambodia in violation of their supposed neutrality. It was considered "the hairiest mission" of the war with more Medals of Honor awarded to SOG teams at Kontum than any other unit.

Listeners will learn what it was like to fly Cobra gunship missions into forbidden territory, day after day braving fierce ground and anti-aircraft fire to help insert or rescue the Green Berets and their indigenous teammates. While much interest is centered on the incredible men of SOG since it was revealed in 1995, much less is known about the brave Huey pilots and crews who rescued them, and even less about the courageous and highly effective gunship pilots called the Pink Panthers. A great many American and Allied lives were saved by their actions flying in the face of deadly danger.

This Memoir of a Ah-1C Cobra pilot and SOG Missions into Laos and Cambodia in the early 1970s describes the horror of modern warfare. I don’t write spoilers, but this book is a lot more than another Vietnam War. Highly Recommended

Excellent insight into the role of Cobra Attack Helicopters in the Viet Nam War

This book is all over the place. From flying coyotes in ww2 to SOG and back. I thought it was about Terry, but more about events in and around the time he served. If you want to read about SOG, read John Plaster or Brockhausen. If you want to read about Cobra pilots, find something else.

Lack of structure
