Books with title Apache Helicopter Pilots

These army pilots fly the most demanding helicopter in existence. Only 3% of existing army helicopter pilots qualify to fly it. Trainees have to learn to train their eyes to work independently of each other while the right eye sees flight and weapons information in the helmet's monocle, the left eye is free to look outside the aircraft and scan for threats and other obstacles. This book lifts the lid on what life is like for these men and women; their training; the aircraft; the missions, and what its actually like to be under fire while trying to protect soldiers on the ground.

Action-Seeker Handbooks is an exciting new series set to satisfy the need for action, adventure, fantasy and facts amongst wannabe action heroes and young adrenaline junkies. Each title explores an aspirational, adrenaline-filled activity through a series of incredible scenarios, and will detail all the skills, equipment and qualities it takes to do them. But nitty-gritty information and no-nonsense diagrams which may appear straight at first glance, have dry humorous undertones to ensure that the books are a rip-roaring read. Ever found yourself hanging upside-down in a sinking helicopter and not known what to do? With Action-Seeker Handbooks you will learn how to handle the most extreme situations, get to grips with the most demanding of challenges, and become utterly ace at all manner of adrenalin-pumping activities: Deal with ditching, fly through a thunderstorm and extinguish a forest inferno (without wetting yourself once). So if youre addicted to adventure, eager for excitement and totally up for it (whatever the challenge), then take your courage in both hands and get ready for action! WARNING-READING THIS BOOK CAN MAKE NORMAL LIFE SEEM UNBEARABLY BORING
