U.S.Navy Seawolves: The Elite HAL-3 Helicopter Squadron in Vietnam

There were no dry runs for Seawolves in Vietnam.
They put their lives on the lineâ‚¬"every time.

In the Viet Cong-infested Mekong Delta, where small SEAL teams were always outgunned and outnumbered, discovery brought swift, deadly consequencesâ‚¬" and a radio call for backup from the United States Navyâ‚¬s very best: the Seawolves. The whir of approaching rotor blades signaled their arrival as they tore through the jungle at treetop level, gunners hanging off the skids, shooting M-60s, raining down their lethal mix of high explosives and incendiary death.

Seawolf Dan Kelly describes the origins of this extraordinary outfit. Put through a training program unlike any other, these men emerged to perform unparalleled feats of courage. The stories of these elite warriors capture Americaâ‚¬s real heroes in all their guts and glory, and demonstrate why the Seawolves are known as the most successful and most decorated unit in the Vietnam War.
