Military Aviation Art
"God's Own Lunatics"
is the phrase coined by noted reporter, and co-author of "We Were
Soldiers Once, and Young" Joe Galloway, as a description of respect
and admiration for helicopter crews, and their willingness to go anywhere,
anytime, in support of ground combat forces. Galloway witnessed this
first-hand during the Battle of Ia Drang in 1965. In his newest print, the
artist has captured the teamwork, commitment, and devotion to duty
required to complete the mission of extracting a Long Range Reconnaissance
Patrol under heavy enemy fire.
