Product Description

The gripping true story of a Royal Marine helicopter pilot on exchange with the RAF.

Major Mark Hammond was awarded the DFC for remarkable feats in Afghanistan in his Chinook helicopter. Like the other Chinook pilots & crews, & the surgical teams who travelled with them, Hammond regularly put his own life in danger to save the lives of others.

Three times on the night of 6 September 2006 he flew into hostile zones to pick up injured soldiers. During an attempt to land at the Para outpost in Musa Qala two rocket-propelled grenades passed within 10ft of his helicopter & four rounds hit it.

Forced to abort the mission, he returned to Camp Bastion, found a new Chinook & flew back into battle, rescuing a soldier while still under heavy fire.
