Overview
This is the saga of the Cobra—the attack helicopter—its development and introduction into Vietnam during the summer of '67, and the stories of the men who flew it. For a Cobra pilot—a Snake Driver—every launch meant he was going headlong into combat. As key providers of fire support, Snake Drivers always had missions, and every mission was real war—flying into hot LZs or kill zones that were literally walls of lead and high explosives. These are their tales of bravery and skill in the hellfire that was Vietnam.It was a new class of weapons system, carrying the most firepower of any helicopter in the world. This is the saga of the Cobra--and the men who flew it. The Snake Drivers were key providers of fire support, and every mission was real war. Photos.
