Description

The story of the Apache attack helicopter in combat for the first time is told through the eyes of its crew. In 2007, four pilots from the British Army Air Corps deployed to Afghanistan as part of Operation Helmand, flying a relentless series of missions that tested their skills and the aircraft's capabilities. Under the call-sign Ugly, these pilots flew Apache helicopters, operating at the limits of modern warfare. Their 100-day deployment was marked by intense battles in Helmand Province, where the Apaches played a crucial role in protecting soldiers on the ground. This book recounts the operations from both the aircrew and the soldiers who benefited from their bravery. Damien Lewis has been given unprecedented access to the pilots of the Apache Attack Squadrons, revealing a true story of British courage and daring against all odds.
