Nizachto. Real pilot describes the path from student to professional. Adequate assessment of the political dimension. And last but not least interesting subtleties features aerial acrobatics.

PS: There are a lot of literature on aviation in Vietnam in English. Reviews, memoirs ... If the public interest, I can lay out.

By the way - on site there is no section "References". No documentation, diagrams and drawings, namely literature. Fiction, documentaries, etc. How well?

If you already have the title translated as "Chickenhawk" - "Chicken and the hawk," that even more will not read. in the original I know by heart, and believe me, these things just work replete with idioms, which in Russian is very difficult to translate without losing meaning. so I will not read the translation, so as not to spoil the impression.

Granted, if read in the original, yes, I'm sorry too. Shakespeare's Hamlet say, too, with the Old English correctly translated, the whole meaning of lost works.

"An association between the word chickenhawk and war was popularized several years earlier in the 1983 bestselling book Chickenhawk, a memoir by Robert Mason about his service in the Vietnam War, in which he was a helicopter pilot. Mason used the word as a compound oxymoron to describe both his fear of combat ("chicken") and his attraction to it ("hawk"). " This is from the book is clear. Takshta translators are absolutely right. Although, of course, sometimes translation is far from ideal.
