Description
Liz McConaghy's remarkable career with the RAF's Chinook Fleet spans an astonishing seventeen years, making her one of the longest-serving crew members in history. Her story is a unique and inspiring account of life as a female aircrew member in the military. From her early days as the youngest aircrew member to deploy to Iraq at just 21, Liz McConaghy faced numerous challenges and dangers during her deployments to both Iraq and Afghanistan. She survived a near-fatal wire strike on board her aircraft and returned fire from heavy machine guns under intense enemy fire. Her most rewarding experience was serving on the Medical Emergency Response Team, flying ambulance missions to recover wounded soldiers from the battlefield. Liz McConaghy's book offers an honest and insightful look at the highs and lows of life as a Chinook crew member, revealing the personal cost of her service both physically and mentally.
