A Dream
Takes Flight
Pursuits of an Army Pilot
by J. Glenn Singleton, Major, United States Army
(Ret.)
A Dream
Takes Flight chronicles the journey of a young boy’s
pursuits to become an Army pilot—and the remarkable
opportunities that placed him in the pilot’s seat of
the Army CV-2 Caribou transport aircraft and the
UH-1 series Huey helicopter during the Vietnam War.
These iconic aircraft of the 1960s opened new
horizons and tactical advantages in the non-frontal
war periods against hostile forces, making it a
pivotal and exciting time in military history. Major
J. Singleton, an Army pilot/instructor in Vietnam
and Germany, shares his personal experiences and
documents his Army career through the Cold War era,
peacetime, and war, including his participation in
training and counterinsurgency unit missions, and
11th Air Assault and Vietnam assignments. With over
100 photo panels, A Dream Takes Flight brings one
man’s military career to vivid and colorful life—a
must-read for those with an interest in the Vietnam
War (the “useless war”!) and for military and
aviation enthusiasts of all ages.
