Praise for To the Limit
“To the Limit is a first-person journey into the grit, grimness,
and chaos of war, told by a helicopter hero in a way that nails the
feel, the mood, and the talk of air cavalrymen in battle.”—Robert
F. Dorr, author of Chopper: A History of American Military
Helicopter Operations from WWII to the War on Terror
“This is the real thing: helicopter combat at its birth. No wonder
Army helo drivers were among the most decorated aviators of the
Vietnam War. Tom Johnson truly shows us what the rank-and-file Huey
crews experienced.”—Peter B. Mersky, author of From the Flight
Deck: An Anthology of the Best Writing on Carrier Warfare and U.S.
Marine Corps Aviation: 1912 to the Present
“Always leery of superlatives in book reviews, I feel compelled to
use them in describing Tom Johnson’s To the Limit. It is an
intense, compelling, gut-wrenching narrative—by far the best
account of helicopter warfare I have read.”—William Smallwood,
author of Strike Eagle: Flying the F-15E in the Gulf War and
Warthog: Flying the A-10 in the Gulf War
