Pretty sure I have that book. I'll look for that pic later today and if I find it, I'll try to post it.Unconverted said:There was an old book on helicopters in Vietnam Nam, called "Gunslingers in Action". As I recall, there's a photo in it of a pilot with a holstered Blackhawk on his hip. You know, Air Cav!
Okay, I've just been through the book twice and didn't see any Rugers in it anywhere. Also looked through the same author's book Huey with no joy.Snake45 said:Pretty sure I have that book.

You wouldn't by any chance be thinking of a series of B&W photos published by LIFE magazine in 1965, would you? Runs in my mind the guy was wearing tiger stripe fatigues, too. :?Terry T said:Been looking for a photo like this! :shock:
I've seen one somewhere years ago with a door gunner with a low slung weastern rig. Love to find a copy of it.
