Description: Designed in the mid 1980s to take on the Soviets, the Apache is the most sophisticated fighting helicopter the world has ever known. Ed Macy's account of the incredibly hard Apache selection process combined with his description of the sheer difficulty of flying one provides a fascinating insight into the relationship between man and machine.
