The Second Wagon Driver - A Novel of the Vietnam War by Darcy Vernier

The Second Wagon Driver is the story of a Marine CH-46 helicopter pilot in Vietnam. It has plenty of the action expected in a Vietnam story, but it is also a coming-of-age novel whereby the protagonist learns about himself and the world in a very tense time and in a very dangerous occupation. The novel is a continuum of twenty-three stand-alone chapters which detail a one-year tour with the Marine Corps in the Republic of South Vietnam.
