Duty to Serve, Duty to Conscience

By James C. Kearney and William H. Clamurro

Co-written by one of our flight medics in the 70-71 timeframe. It's an interesting look at the conscience objector side of being the the armed forces. Despite all that has been written about Vietnam, the story of the 1-A-O conscientious objector, who agreed to put on a uni-form and serve in the field without weapons rather than accept alternative service outside the military, has received scarce atten-tion. This joint memoir by two 1-A-O combat medics, James C. Kearney and William H. Clamurro, represents a unique approach to the subject. It is a blend of their personal narratives—with select Vietnam poems by Clamurro—to illustrate noncombatant objection as a unique and relatively unknown form of Vietnam War protest.

A Bullet Through the Helmet

By Doug Moore

Doug Moore Bullet Through HelmetThis book gives a great look into the beginning of the air ambulance system in Vietnam. We later air ambulance crews might forget how tenuous the air ambulance system was in 1964 and 1965. If you flew in a medical evacuation helicopter in the late sixties or early seventies, you were enjoying the arduous work done by our earlier brothers. This book is an exciting look into history through individual war stories told by the author.

"This book is dedicated to the heroic men who served with medical evacuation helicopter units during the Vietnam War. Because of their commitment to the mission, more than 850,000 patients were flown to life and limb-saving care during that conflict. While doing so, 213 of our Nation's best pilots, medics, crew chiefs, and gunners (gunners added to the original dedication by Webmeister) lost their lives. Those who survived should remember them and honor their service every day.

With that in mind, I want readers to know that any income derived from the sale of this book will go directly to the American Huey 369 Organization, a nonprofit organization located on Grissom Air Force Base, Peru, Indiana. The name derived from the tail number of a Dust Off medical evacuation helicopter that was flown during the Vietnam War.”

Dustoff and Medevac Vietnam

By Phil Marshall

Dustoff & Medevac VietnamVietnam helicopter rescue missions as told by the men who flew them assigned to the 1st Cavalry Division, 44th Med Bde, and 101st Airborne. Stories by Art Jacobs, Dennis Schmidt, Dave Barnum, and Fred McKellar. All are absolutely true with no embellishments. Laugh with them, cry with them, experience as best you can what they experienced. These are the real stories of the helicopter crewmen who sometimes sacrificed all...so that others may live.

Phil Marshall served as an Army Warrant Officer helicopter pilot in 1969 with the 237th Medical Detachment (HA). As one of the many crewmen who flew Huey helicopters to rescue sick, wounded, and dying troops, he became acutely aware of the sacrifices the men who flew these missions made. He was wounded on an insecure night mission. This is the second book in a series of books documenting the missions they flew; documenting these missions before the crewmembers who flew them all pass away, hopefully to a special place where they will be rewarded for their noble actions.

rescue under fire

By John L. Cook

A great read. Don't let the Dust Off turn you away from this book - Medevac is chronicled also. This is the definitive history of the beginning of the DUSTOFF/Medevac legacy. Guaranteed you will come away with a greater appreciation about the trials the first few air ambulance units had to go through in the early '60s. Learn about the NVA/VC being taught to aim for the red crosses and about waiting until the wounded were loaded before trying to shoot down air ambulances. Also learn about the "albino" experiment about painting 1st Cav Medevacs all white. This book is just a super history lesson that's a "must read!"

So That Others May Live

By D.T. McGuff

So That Others May LiveD.T. McGuff has crafted a deft account of his struggles as a combat medic in Vietnam from 1969 to 1970. The powerful narration inserts you in the middle of the complexities of the Vietnam War and life in the boonies with the First Air Cavalry Division's Bravo Company, 2n platoon and later with harrowing Medevac rescue missions. You'll feel as if you're right alongside "Doc" McGuff whether walking the endless, mind numbing jungle trails or falling from one hundred and fifty feet in a bullet riddled Medevac.

So That Others May Live chronicles the strangely compelling adventures and personal struggles of a nineteen year old caught up in a battle to save human lives in a world bent on destroying them. This painfully honest account of the mind-blowing roll of a combat medic takes you on a terrifying, confusing and sometimes humorous journey that depicts how one American son evolves from naive nineteen year old to disillusioned combat veteran.
