Description:
The Apache attack helicopter is the British Army's most formidable weapons system. Making its debut in Afghanistan, it has already achieved legendary status. Even more remarkable than the Apache itself are the pilots who fly it. For the first time, Apache Dawn tells the gripping story of their baptism of fire in Helmand province. Their call sign was 'Ugly'—fitting for the grueling 100-day deployment they endured. Day after day, four of the Army Air Corps' finest pilots pushed their aircraft to the limit in unrelenting and intense combat missions, from daring rescues to dramatic close-air support.
Bestselling author Damien Lewis was granted unprecedented access to these heroic aircrews and the soldiers on the ground whose lives they saved. This is a tale of extraordinary bravery, skill, and resilience against incredible odds. It is also the story of the Apache—the ultimate fighting machine.
