Descripción del artículo del vendedor

Paperback. They flew into the fire when others fled.Above and Beyond: When I Have Your Wounded is a nonfiction history of the helicopter in American warfare and the men and women who turned fragile machines into lifelines on the battlefield.The story begins in World War II, when experimental helicopters first proved their value rescuing wounded airmen from jungles and mountains where no airplane or ground vehicle could reach. In Korea, helicopters moved from novelty to necessity as H-13 Sioux crews lifted wounded soldiers from frozen ridges and rice paddies. By Vietnam, helicopters had become the heartbeat of war. Medics and aircrews known as Dust Off flew into intense gunfire to evacuate the wounded, living by the words spoken by Major Charles L. Kelly: "When I have your wounded."That promise carried forward into later conflicts. From the streets of Mogadishu to the deserts of Iraq and the mountains of Afghanistan, Black Hawks, Apaches, and Chinooks delivered troops into combat, resupplied isolated units, and pulled wounded soldiers from ambushes and urban battlefields where ground evacuation was often impossible.Written by Navy veteran and former helicopter rescue crewman JW Jones, Above and Beyond blends historical research, official records, and firsthand testimony to tell the human story behind military aviation. It is not a technical history of aircraft, but a chronicle of courage, sacrifice, and service measured in minutes and lives saved.This book honors generations of pilots, medics, and crew chiefs who went above and beyond to keep a simple promise: to come when called, no matter the danger, and to bring their wounded home. This work focuses on the men who made medical and troop extractions under challenging conditions, Above and Beyond, a phrase from the Medal of Honor, many of these pilots and crews earned. We called men heroes who performed courageous acts. This item is printed on demand. Shipping may be from our UK warehouse or from our Australian or US warehouses, depending on stock availability. …
