Meer over het boek

The book features a collection of war stories derived from the author's firsthand experiences as a scout helicopter pilot in Vietnam. It highlights the tradition of storytelling among solo pilots, who shared their tales, known as "TINS" (short for 'this is no shit'), during evening gatherings. These narratives served not only as entertainment but also as valuable lessons, enabling pilots to learn from one another's experiences and mistakes in the challenging environment of war.
