I have just finished this book and ive come to a difficult crossroad. I dont know what to red next as i feel i would be disapointed, what could possibly match the 'APACHE' by 'Ed Macey'. I am a helicopter enthusiast having grown up flying the machines and the technology used in Apache is like non other machine. Of course that's what you would expect from a military machine at such cost But the technology is for a different use. Civil technology is used in everyday machine and aircraft but after reading this book i have been introduced to another kind. Making computers and avionics that are designed to track, trace and kill mass numbers is astounding. There is not much more i can say about the read i was stunned. I would recommend highly. Now onto 'No Easy Day' by Mark Owen, let's see how they compare... I love technology, and the military has some of the best of it. The Apache has always been one of my favorite aircraft, it's ugly and it's brutal. This book does a really good job of getting you up close and personal with the machine.One of the first things I realized when I started this book happened to be a pleasant surprise. This book is written by a British pilot and follows the British military. The Apache has so long been a symbol of American air superiority I just assumed the book was by an American pilot. It was great to see this other perspective.The author does a great job of getting into the nuts and bolts of flying the aircraft, but never gets too dry with technical details. He also does a great job of describing the combat, having been there first hand.Finally, the last third or so of the book covers a rescue mission the author was part of, and it's really one of the more exciting and suspenseful things I've read. Doubly so knowing that it all actually happened.A great read.
