According to the book description of
Pucker Factor 10: Memoir of a U.S. Army Helicopter Pilot in Vietnam, “The author was drawn
into the United States Army through ROTC, and went through training to fly helicopters in combat over Vietnam. His experiences
are notable because he flew both Huey "Slicks" and Huey "Gunships": the former on defense as he flew troops
into battle, and the latter on offense as he took the battle to the enemy. Through this book, the author relives his experiences
flying and fighting, with special attention given to his and other pilots’ day-to-day lives—such as the smoke
bombing of Disneyland, the nickname given to a United States Army–sponsored compound for prostitution. Some of the pilots
Joyce served with survived the war and went on to have careers with commercial airlines, and many were killed.”
