The title of this book sounds like it applies to many of the Bladeslapper members:
"Ask Forgiveness Not Permission"
A really interesting true Helicopter pilot story which also shows what a person can achieve with good training.
9/10 score from me.

A great Read

Re: A great Read
Thanks for the suggestion Tony,
I'd also be happy to hear about any other suggestions of good books related to helicopters, not much of a reader usually but I seem to find ways to like it when its related to helicopters
"Fatal traps for helicopter pilots" by Greg White is the only suggestion I can offer (the only one I've read so far..)

At the risk of stating the obvious, Chickenhawk by Robert Mason is a must-read for any helicopter pilot!

Apache & Hellfire, both by Ed Macy, similar to Chickenhawk but based in and around the UK and Afghanistan.

Apache pilot with tours in Afgh and Iraq. Good read and an interesting angle.
