Description

Apache at War: A Memoir of Elite Pilots Service This memoir recounts the author's experiences flying close-support helicopters with the AAC, from patrolling 'Bandit Country' in Northern Ireland to serving in the Balkans and Iraq. The author shares his stories of combat operations against Taliban fighters in Afghanistan, as well as a remarkable rescue mission where he saved other soldiers from a crashed helicopter. The book is also a tribute to the Apache AH-64, a combat aircraft that played a significant role in the author's service. With its military callsign 'Ugly', the Apache was an extraordinary machine that the author had the privilege of flying and working with. Through his experiences, the author offers a unique perspective on life as an elite pilot, providing insight into the challenges and camaraderie of serving in the military.
