Polecat and Tiger Shark were the radio call signs of the Huey slicks and gunships of the 192nd Assault Helicopter Company, US Army, during the Vietnam War. I, Jim Schueckler, carry the nickname "Polecat", as a tribute to the fine men I flew with and served with, especially those who gave the ultimate sacrifice. You may share these stories as I wish to share them with you. They are my memories of those men and those times; some funny, some tearful, some scary.
All are true.
