Review
“Whether you are into nose art or the Vietnam War or both this one is for you… These pictures would remain unseen and probably forgotten about had it not been for people like John Brennan who have managed to compile them into lovely books like this. I hope you enjoy this book as much as I did and I’m already hoping that John Brennan will bring out a second volume of long forgotten photos depicting the colourful side of green.” (War History Online)
“The pictures are are clear and provide the modeler with some interesting possibilities for weathering, vignettes and dioramas. Highly Recommended for all modelers.” (AMPS)
“John Brennan’s colorful new book, “Vietnam War Army Helicopter Nose Art,” seems timely in light of recent forays into the conflict by makers of both metal and plastic toy soldier items… these combat aviators’ distinctive artwork illustrates the human side of the controversial politics surrounding the Vietnam War.” (Toy Soldier & Model Figure)
About the Author
John Brennan has authored six Vietnam War helicopter books. His background in this subject begins with a twelve-month military tour in Vietnam’s Mekong Delta region, where he was assigned to the Army’s 114th Assault Helicopter Company as a flight operations coordinator. This was followed by a BA degree in American studies from California State University at Chico. He was subsequently hired by the Smithsonian’s National Air & Space Museum Library in Washington, D.C. Later, when the 114th formed an association, Brennan served as historian. Today, he is retired from federal service and resides with his family in northern California.
