Conway As the founder and webmaster of the Vietnam Helicopter Pilot's Association museum website I've had numerous contacts with people who knew and served with Ace Cozzalio. I have spoken to his family members a number of times in order to catch a small glimpse of this bigger then life Army Aviator for presentation in our work and displays. This book is long over-due and a fitting tribute to a genuine American legend. There have been many books written by and about Helicopter veterans but few work so intently on establishing the essence of a complex man and patriot from childhood to his untimely passing. In contrast to today's "by the book" Army, in which individualism is not so welcome, Ace pioneered a path that carried with it the lives and loyalties of many who served under his command and along side him. He dynamically re-introduced the Cavalry uniform of olden times (saber, scarf and "Cav" Hat) to the challenging environment of the Vietnam conflict and not only got away with it but established what was then, at the very least, "Unauthorized" as a tradition that lives on today. There was nothing typical about this man but his is the spirit of many a well known American Warrior. Thanks to author, Rex Gooch, for adding an unforgettable volume to the archives of 20th century military history. A must read for anyone from Aviation Historians to those who research or just appreciate factual studies in leadership.

By RICH NIEDERHOF At a time when there are so few REAL heroes, REAL role models, the true story of Ace Cozzalio is heroically powerful and inspiring. Whereas our media tends to idolize our Hollywood actor “heroes” and over-paid egotistical professional athletes, this is a book of REAL acts of bravery, an exciting and accurate portrayal of a Vietnam War gunship helicopter pilot.This book does NOT get into the “justification”, the controversies, the politics of the Vietnam War but accurately tells the true story of an American Army pilot doing his job with unbelievable bravery, honor, dedication, pride, and grit...as only an American military person can perform.. This book helps bring out the true but often unrecognized fine character of the American soldier in Vietnam, an unpopular war that in reality was filled with true warriors like Ace Cozzalio.The author does a fantastic job of making a true story read like a well-written novel. Only Rex Gooch, a decorated Vietnam War Air Calvary gunship helicopter pilot himself, could write so that you feel like you are THERE flying the Loach or Huey helicopter with Ace! . The accurate details of piloting helicopters and flying so very low over the lands of South Vietnam are fantastic.It is a well-written true story of values and character-building instilled by his parents to amazing action of a low-flying Loach helicopter chasing Viet Cong as if it were A DRAGONFLY CHASING AN ANT (WOW !!!!), to an unbelievable battle saving a pinned down trapped platoon, to the flamboyant pride of old Calvary uniforms, scarfs, Stetson cowboy hats and sabre swords to a classy story of romance with a Donut Dolly!!! Better than fiction!!Frankly, a “great read”, especially for any man (emphasis intended)!
12 of 12 people found the following review helpful. that's how good it is By Ted Ellis From the moment I began reading ACE:THE STORY OF LT.COL.ACE COZZALIO, I could not put it down!. This book is so well written that it is truly a "page turner". I could see the action in the book just as if I was experiencing it myself, that's how good it is. Ace, the man, as the books reveals is more than just a good helicopter pilot. He is an honest, decent and charasmatic leader; a man who exemplifies all that is good about being an American Soldier committed to his duty as he saw it. From page to page I could see the character of a real man; nothing about him was phony. To use a cliche, what you see is what you get. The legend of Ace will live on in the hearts of those who knew him and, through this book, those who read about him.For anyone who is looking for a hero, I recommend looking at the life of Ace Cozzalio as written in this book. You, the reader, will appreciate the selfless sacrifice our soldiers make in the most horrible situations to keep our country safe. I expect the many veterans of the Vietnam War, and other conflicts, who read this book will treasure it as part of their life as I do. On a scale of one to five, I give this books a 10!Ted Ellis
