Customer Reviews

A must read for military buffs

This is an exceptionally detailed and well written account of being a female pilot in a prestigious CAV unit. Every single page captivated my attention. My take-a-way from this book was an understanding of the integral Kiowa pilots played in supporting U.S. and its Allies ground forces in Iraq and Afghanistan. It is an incredibly dangerous job frequently under direct enemy fire.
