From the cockpit of the world’s deadliest helicopter comes the true
story of a rescue mission so dangerous they said it couldn’t be done – and
the man who dared to make it happen.
Ed
Macy spent his childhood picking fights and sleeping rough.
After a career in the Para was cut short by a brutal accident, he thought
he’d never fight again. So when a
friend suggested the Army Air Corps, Ed jumped at the chance to return to the
front line. When the army launched
its attack helicopter programme, Ed bent every rule in the book to make sure he
was the first to sign up.
The Westland Apache AH Mk 1 is the deadliest, most technically advanced helicopter in the world – and the toughest to fly. Only the top two per cent of pilots make it through the gruelling 18-month training. In the cockpit of an Apache, hands, feet and even eyes need to operate independently. It’s not enough to stay one step ahead of the enemy - you’ve got to stay one step ahead of the machine, too.
In
2007, Ed’s Apache squadron was dispatched to Afghanistan’s notorious Helmand
Province. Their mission: to fight
alongside and protect the men on the ground, by any means necessary.
When a marine goes missing in action, Ed and his team know they are the
Army’s only hope of bringing him back alive.
With
a soldier strapped each side of two gunships, they must land in the heart of
Jugroom Fort, a Taliban stronghold, and come face to face with hordes of their
unrelenting enemy. What follows is a
breathtaking rescue, unlike any the world has ever seen.
Apache is Ed’s story – an adrenalin-fuelled account of one of the most daring actions of modern wartime, and a tale of courage, danger and comradeship you wont be able to put down. To read more about the author follow the link
