520    "19 Minutes to Live" illustrates the incredible courage 
       and determination of helicopter pilots and crews 
       supporting those heroes that carried a rucksack and a 
       rifle in Vietnam. Over 12,000 helicopters were used in the
       Vietnam War, which is why it became known as "The 
       Helicopter War". Almost half of the helicopters, 5,086, 
       were lost. Helicopter pilots and crews accounted for 
       nearly 10 percent of all the US casualties suffered in 
       Vietnam, with nearly 5,000 killed and an untold number of 
       wounded. Lew Jennings flew over 700 Air Cavalry Cobra 
       Gunship Helicopter missions and received Three 
       Distinguished Flying Crosses for Valor. This memoir 
       describes first-hand the harrowing experiences of 
       helicopter pilots and crews in combat operations, from the
       far South to the DMZ, including the infamous Ashau Valley,
       Hamburger Hill, LZ Airborne and others.
