(More customer reviews)As an AH-64 pilot who has participated of OIF I was to say the least intrigued when I first heard of this title.
The book includes information that will be of interest to those who enjoy tales of military aviation and includes photos and drawings of unit marking that are otherwise unavailable. The marking are notably incomplete, showing only one company within a battalion and leaving the others out.
It's interesting to note that several members of my unit who are quoted in the book, profess to have never met the author...and he (the author) fails to footnote or otherwise indicate how he came up with these statements.
It's a good start, but it doesn't even begin to scratch the surface of a great subject that begs to be covered fully.

After the attacks on 11 September 2001, Apache units made significant contributions to the Coalition campaign against Taliban and al-Qaeda forces in Afghanistan.Functioning as the 'killer' part of US Army Hunter-killer teams, Apaches sought out and brought overwhelming firepower to bear on Taliban and al-Qaeda forces, as well as providing direct support to Coalition troops on the ground. Apaches spearheaded the advance of the 3rd Infantry and the 101st airborne divisions into Iraq, engaging in some of the heaviest fighting along the western axis of advance. Weather and enemy fire took a heavy toll on Apaches operating in Western Iraq, but the resilience and flexibility of the Apache was central to the success of this campaign.
