Volume XI of the continuing series of daring helicopter rescues as told by the youthful crew members who flew them. Hueys, Cobras, Chinooks and Scout helicopters, it didn't matter; if it had rotary wings, the crews were always ready to do whatever it took to save the lives of their comrades. Absolutely true stories, many of them with happy endings…and some with not. That's why they call it "War". These missions will put you in the cockpit. Fasten your seat belt and shoulder harness, adjust your helmet and your chicken plate; pull the starter trigger to light the fire, pull pitch and you're on your way.
I've always believed that there are lessons to be learned from some of humanity's worst moments. War heads my own personal list. Armed conflict causes its participants to reflect on the jagged landscape of the human heart where trouble, fear, pain, bloodshed, and death are a dominate part of soldiers' daily existence. It's a world of creative cruelty, like having ISIS show up at an infidel's birthday party with butcher knives. Sometimes surviving in such an environment is often as easy as attempting to perform a disappearing magic trick in front of a firing squad.
