Maverick

Excellent read. Dennis' logbook is now closed, we're gonna miss you. The section about Dennis realizing the Cobra could not rescue troops on the ground, and his ingenious solution. Drop the ammo bay doors down. Pulling guys out of a bad situation, great job! After the XO dressed him down, sure would like to have seen the XO after the rescue. Once again, Great Job. Fellow Rotorhead!

Was the book fact or fiction

As for the persons that gave the book one star I bet they never have been to Vietnam or met Denny in person. I have a autographed copy of Maverick because I use to know Denny as we were in the same area in Vietnam and again met him in 1996 at his work. To think the book is fiction is to not know Denny or much about Vietnam. I have read 99% of the books written about Vietnam and Maverick rates in the top 2% of the books on Vietnam that I have read. If you knew Denny you would know that everything in the book is true as he is not the type person to add fiction just to make a story more interesting. Heck there was no need to add un-truths as there was plenty of truths to fill several books! As the note Denny wrote in my copy of Maverick says... "This book was written so no one would forget""You were there no excuses needed"

ONE OF THE BEST I'VE READ

I LAUGHED AND CRIED, BUT COULDENT PUT IT DOW

Stimulating!

My love for helicopters, and more recently the Vietnam war, caused me to pick up "Maverick"... The writing runs the gamut on emotions...using a great sense of humor where appropriate. A definite must read especially those able to appreciate good writing style.

excellant portrayal of true, American spirit.

During the story I'd find myself wondering when Mavericks luck would run out. Being a Vietnam vet, I too, could feel perhaps what was going through the mind of this heroic brave young American. I could feel my heart break as the writer explained of the buddies lost and are now names on a wall in DC. It is a story that touched my heart and most of all reminded me of the sacrifices made by our young men in the Vietnam War.A story that proves to all, the Vietnam Vet fought with honor and was as brave and courageous as any warrior before him. A story that tells of our human instinct to survive. As in the Vietnam War--this story hit all the emotions and touched all my senses---to understand more about the Vietnam War, a must read.
