Description

Ed Macy's Hellfire tells the gripping true story of his determination to master the world's deadliest helicopter and the split-second decision that changed the face of modern warfare. In May 2006, Ed arrives in Afghanistan with the Apache AH Mk1, a machine shrouded in uncertainty. As he and his team face intense challenges, Ed must draw on his skills as a paratrooper and pilot to survive. The story takes a dramatic turn when Ed unleashes the first ever Hellfire missile in combat, changing the course of the war in Afghanistan forever. With the Apache's capabilities redirected to fight the enemy head-on, the British Army's greatest asset is born. This account of war on the ground and in the skies above Helmand offers a unique perspective on the intense months that followed, including the steep learning curve, relentless missions, and evolving enemy. Ed Macy's Hellfire is a gripping and intense memoir that explores the highs and lows of modern warfare, revealing the skills, willpower, and determination required to succeed in one of the world's most challenging environments.
