S. Army Assault helicopter pilot at war in Vietnam. He just wants to do his job and return home to his wife and family.  To do so, he has to survive harrowing combat missions, bad weather, mechanical problems, human error, and a commander who is more interested in personal glory and promotion than his men’s well-being. While performing his duties, Taylor will be challenged and tested beyond any measure he could have ever envisioned.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003eHe is assigned to the Eagles, a Huey Assault Company with the 101st Airborne Division in I Corps.
