CHOPPERTECH BOOK COVER




CHOPPERTECH

Gordon (Beaver) Shaw was born in Gwelo, Southern Rhodesia in 1955 to Alan and Eileen Shaw. His Grandfather being one of Southern Rhodesia’s early pioneers settling in the Country in 1890.
In this book, Beaver Shaw sifts through mounds of log book entries and other information that he has gathered from friends over many years.
He has added his flying logbook entries as they appear in his logbook as a reference and guide to his book.
He writes his book as he remembers it, and has used words and phrases that they used during the war days; and therefore he will not apologise for any of the wording and for not being politically correct. This book may offend some and may bring back many memories for others…. Good or bad, these fortunately or unfortunately, were the days of war and this is a book of his days…. fighting a terrorist war!
Choppertech is a book that lets facts speak for themselves, showing ultimately that the truth is no less amazing than fiction and that the scars never heal.
