Apache

Inside the Cockpit of the World’s Most Deadly Fighting Machine

De: Ed Macy

Narrado por: Roger Wayne

"A truly amazing portrayal of the technical, the emotional, and the courageous. Macy puts the reader in the cockpit of our most lethal attack platform." -Dick Couch, New York Times bestselling author

Apache is the incredible true story of Ed Macy, a decorated Apache helicopter pilot, that takes you inside one of the world's most dangerous war machines. A firsthand account of the exhilaration and ferocity of war, Apache chronicles a rescue mission involving a stranded soldier in Afghanistan in 2007.

Ed Macy had always dreamed of a career in the army, so when the British Army Air Corps launched its attack helicopter program, Macy bent every rule in the book to make sure he was the first to sign up to fly the Apache—the deadliest, most technically advanced helicopter in the world and the toughest to fly. In 2007, Macy's Apache squadron was dispatched to Afghanistan's notorious Helmand Province with the mission to fight alongside and protect the men on the ground by any means necessary. When a marine goes missing in action, Macy and his team know they are the Army's only hope of bringing him back alive. Apache is Macy's story—an adrenalin-fueled account of one of the most daring actions of modern wartime, and a tale of courage, danger, and comradeship you won't be able to put down.

Good story

Narration left something to be desired. Perhaps at times too much detail. A good story.

A heroic story by a humble hero

A thrilling view into a British Apache squadron. It also shows how important everyday people are to the preservation of our society.

Great performance.

Good introduction to the life of an Apache pilot. Would’ve been nice to get a British voice actor, but the dude here does a great job.

Better with a British reader

Good book, but since the author and story is British, I would have preferred a British reader rather than an American one.

Great story

Quick listen, British narration would made this perfect . Still a fantastic book. Great follow up info on characters in the book.
