Book Reviews of Low Level Hell
Book Review: Hard to put it down.
Summary: 5 Stars
I am in the process of reading this book for the 2nd time. This is good stuff! Gripping suspense, action, and well written. I have a serious fascination of all things U.S. military helicopter pilots in Vietnam. I will say that LLH is just a notch below "Chickenhawk" imho, but that's a small notch. CH has my heart because of the incredible and thorough detail about actually operating the helicopters. "Low Level Hell" is ALSO a must-read if you are into this genre'! I guess what I'm trying to get at, is, I am really loving this book for the 2nd time. A real page turner. A great peek into the bravery of these scout crews, and the incredible danger they knowingly put themselves into every day.Book Review: Thank You Colonel Mills
Summary: 5 Stars
Thank you for this book.
I couldn't put it down, but when I got toward the end I started to slow down; I didn't want it to end. I hope your considering another book. Perhaps about your time a cobra pilot.
I was in vietnam in 67, and that experience helped me thoroughly enjoy this book. But that's not to say you have to be a veteran to appreciate this book.
Everyone of the amazingly brave exploits of the scout pilots. I wish there were more books on this subject, especially by someone so qualified to tell the story.
I wish I could write to Colonel Mills to let him how much I enjoyed this book.
Book Review: Captivating!
Summary: 5 Stars
I recently read Low Level Hell, and I want to say it was one of the best books I've ever read!! Hugh does a great job of captivating the reader from the first chapter to the very end. Every chapter has you on the edge of your seat, taking you through the drama of fighting in Vietnam. I honestly felt as if I was flying with him! At times I was howling in laughter and others crying at the loss of fellow officers. Hugh's last chapter sent chills down my spine. I honestly cannot think of a better read on one man's experience in Vietnam. Great job Hugh!

Book Review: Outstanding Account of Army Aviation in Vietnam
Summary: 5 Stars
If you visit the Army Aviation Museum at Fort Rucker, Alabama, one of the first things you will see is Mr. Mills's Loach displayed outside the museum. A good choice, because Low Level Hell is a superb account of the bravery and skill of U.S. Army helicopter pilots in Vietnam. I read the book as a Second Lieutenant undergoing flight training at Fort Rucker, and it helped me make up my mind to become an Aeroscout. You will simply not believe some of the things these pilots did to accomplish their missions. Entertaining and informative.Book Review: A few Scout pilots survived...
Summary: 5 Stars
Helicopter ops in Vietnam consisted of dust-offs, which carried out the wounded, gunships, which blew the [heck] out of the enemy, slicks, which hauled troops, and scouts. Scouts flew "loaches", open cockpit OH58's at tree-top level, locating hidden trails, bunkers, in general, trying to start a fight and provoke the enemy into revealing their location. Most scout pilots didn't last six months. A few made it back. Two have written books about being a scout. This is the best of the two. See also "Hunter Killer Squadron"
