Critics Review
‘I’ve read In the Company of Heroes and I think it’s stunning. It’s my objective opinion that Army helicopter pilots, especially Warrant Officer pilots, are some of the best and bravest pilots who ever flew, and this book proves it. In the Company of Heroes is moving, enlightening, fast-paced and exciting. An excellent read’ – Robert Mason, author of Chickenhawk
