About this listen

Amber Smith flew into enemy fire in some of the most dangerous combat zones in the world. One of only a few women to fly the Kiowa Warrior helicopter, Smith rose to pilot in command and air mission commander in the premier Kiowa unit in the army, repeatedly flying into harm's way during her 2005 and 2008 deployments with the 101st Airborne Division, the Screaming Eagles. Smith takes you into the heat of battle, enabling listeners to feel, hear, and smell the experience of serving as a combat pilot in high-intensity warfare. She learned to perform under pressure and persevere under extreme duress - both in action against an implacable enemy and within the elite boys' club of army aviation.

With so many other books out about war already available written by men I found this book very interesting. It was interesting to read what women go through while on deployments, something much of use probably don't even think about.

A good listen! Exciting to hear her story and you can hear her love of aviation, and service for the soldiers she watched over.

This book was better than I expected. It not only exposed me to the reality of war through the eyes of a pilot but also acknowledged the unique challenges that women face in the service. As someone who does not like to let herself cry I was tearing up almost every chapter in this book, but that might be because it hits close to home.

Real tear jerking stuff
