Review:

" Robby Robinson gets it right in this book. Reading these stories brought back many memories of the best of time and the worst of times. It's a fitiing tribute to a great squadron and finest men with whom I was ever privileged to serve. --General Mike Williams, USMC (ret.) Former Assistant Commandant of Marine the Corps

" Robby has presented a balanced presentation of a combat helicopter pilot's tour in Vietnam. The book is full of first hand accounts, pictures nd events. It is very readable and does not get bogged down with politics, tactics or rational. Scarface 42 is enjoyable reading. --LtGen John E. Rhodes, USMC (ret.)

" A fantastic job in telling the Scarface story through Robby's eyes. Read it cover to cover.... I cold not put it down! Overall impression, Dam good read! --Mark Austin Byrd, Scarface 47
