520 Operation Grasshopper first published in 1958, is the
little-known yet vital story of U.S. Army Aviation
operations during the Korean conflict. In contrast to the
Air Force, Army "Grasshopper" pilots flew light, unarmed
planes (especially the Cessna L-19 'Bird Dog') and
helicopters, to report on enemy troop movements and
artillery positions, to perform rescue missions of fellow
soldiers, and to fly countless missions transporting the
wounded to medical facilities. Author Dario Politella
served as an Army Aviation pilot in both World War Two and
in Korea, and recounts the role of these small planes in
the larger history of the Korean war. This new edition
includes 58 pages of maps, photographs and drawings.
