The Apache attack helicopter is the British Army''s most
awesome weapons system. Deployed for the first time in Afghanistan,
it has already passed into legend. The only thing more incredible
than the Apache itself are the pilots that fly her. For the first
time, Apache Dawn tells their story - and their baptism of fire in
the unforgiving battle of Helmand province. Their call-sign was
''Ugly'' - and there was no better word for the gruelling 100-day
deployment they endured. Day after day, four of the Army Air Corps''
finest pilots flew right into the heart of the battle, testing
their aircraft to the very limit. Apache Dawn takes the reader with
them on a series of unrelenting and brutally intense combat
missions, from daring, edge-of-the-seat rescues to dramatic
close-air support in the white heat of battle. Bestselling author
Damien Lewis has been given unprecedented access to these heroic
aircrews and to the men on the ground whose lives they saved. It is
an astounding story of bravery, skill and resilience in the face of
unbelievable odds. And it is the story of the Apache itself - the
ultimate fighting machine.
