Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. Since the introduction of Igor Sikorsky's V-300 helicopter in 1937, rotary wing aviation has advanced and matured to become a staple of U.S. Military aviation. Although it saw only very limited use in World War II, during the Korean War the helicopter became a staple of combat rescue (Search and Rescue), as well as an efficient means of quickly transporting the wounded to a MASH (Mobile Army Surgical Hospital) for prompt medical care and surgery that saved the lives of many wounded soldiers.Continued advances in technology and airmobile tactics over the next decade led to development of larger Huey and Chinook, and the venerated Jolly Green Giant helicopters for Search and Rescue, airmobile deployment and recovery of combat units to the battlefield, as well as workhorses to provide rations, resupply, and even important mail delivery. The fearsome Cobra gunships also found wide use in providing critical combat support.This volume of the "Beyond Belief" series highlights the incredible stories of helicopter pilots of the Army, Navy, Marine Corps, Air Force, and Coast Guard from the Korean War to the more recent wars in Iraq and Afghanistan. Rotary Wing pilots and their crews have established a noble legacy of heroism and service that is truly beyond belief. This item is printed on demand.

Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. "Beyond Belief - True Stories of New Mexico Heroes That Defy Comprehension" is the most comprehensive book every published to highlight the heroism of the military heroes of the "Land of Enchantment." It features stories of 117 New Mexico military heroes from the 1,800s to present, with connections to 88 cities, towns, and communities in New Mexico.They came to service from large cities and small farming communities, some of which are now ghost towns. They included college graduates, as well as young men who never finished high school but came to military service with an admirable degree of dedication to their state and nation. All too many of them died in their moment of heroism.Some are well known, like Gallup lifetime native Hiroshi Miyamura, a Korean War Medal of Honor Recipient and prisoner of war. Others are almost forgotten by time, until now. During World War II, two New Mexico airmen were among eighty volunteers for the famed Doolittle Raid on Tokyo. Five New Mexico airmen became Air ACEs, credited with shooting down at least five enemy aircraft including Springer, New Mexico's Daniel Tipton Roberts, who became a DOUBLE ACE before he was himself shot down and killed. Vietnam War airmen Oliver E. O'Mara of Alamogordo and Silver City's John Smith Hamilton were two of only 200 airmen in history to be awarded the Air Force Cross. The book also profiles two of New Mexico's Navajo volunteers who served as Codetalkers.In 1970, during the Vietnam War, Albuquerque Green Beret Franklin Douglas Miller was one of two New Mexico heroes to earn the Medal of Honor. Before the end of that year his brother Walter L. Miller, also a Green Beret, earned the Silver Star in a daring raid into North Vietnam to try and rescue American Prisoners of War. During the more recent Global War on Terrorism, of the 1,500 American servicemen who received the top three combat valor awards including Service Crosses or Silver Stars, nine men from Albuquerque received these top combat honors, more than any other city in the United States. Albuquerque Navy SEAL Mark L. Donald was one of the war's most highly decorated heroes, earning the Navy Cross and Silver Star, and Albuquerque Air Force Joint Terminal Attack Controller Thomas E. Case earned the Silver Star twice. Santa Fe's Leroy Arthur Petry was one of only 28 men to earn the Medal of Honor in that war. All of the stories are inspirational; some with a degree of sadness. New Mexico's Kenneth and Marshall Westbrook of Farmington and Shiprock were each killed four years apart in the Global War on Terrorism. This item is printed on demand.

Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. The stories of the men and women is this book are the true accounts of everyday Americans who, by the cookie cutter standard of characterizing a hero are most unlikely. Some were short, others were exceptionally tall. Some were small boned and slight, others were at the least a little overweight, a few even fat. They were young and inexperienced in life, others were old and beyond the days of their youthful strength and vigor. Many had health issues that would have made them unlikely heroes; several could never have passed a military physical or an ASVAB in today's Army. None fit the recent mantra for soldiers of possessing the "highest male standards." These men and women hailed from small towns across America. Or from some of our biggest cities. Some were distinguished college graduates, high school valedictorian/salutatorians; others had little more education than a few years of grammar school. Some came from wealthy families of prominence, others grew up in unstable families and poverty, some even growing up an America's troubled barrios. Some were Boy Scouts, even Eagle Scouts. Others were troubled youth, petty criminals, even gangbangers. A few, whose life patterns tended to show that they would never amount to anything good, found themselves in a courtroom where a judge gave them the option of enlisting in the military or going to jail. In choosing the latter, in the most dire of combat actions, they found themselves and rose to challenges to disprove the disdain of those who knew them in their early life.Not to be overlooked are the women, who are not unlikely heroes because of their gender, but because of barriers placed in their path to military service by a male-dominated and often misogynistic segment of American society. Once they broke that glass ceiling and were afforded the opportunity to serve, they proved themselves, even in combat, equal to their male counterparts and perhaps in some instances, superior to them. All of these profiled heroes have one thing in common: when the excrement hit the oscillating blades, they found within themselves the courage and strength to rise to the challenge and do the unthinkable. It is my sincere hope that every person who reads this book, finds within its pages someone with whom they can personally identify, and be inspired by their story. Heroism isn't about being brave, someone poignantly noted that "Courage is when you are the only person in the room who knows that you are scared." Most of us will never face the kind of deadly, volent situations the heroes in this book faced, but should you ever find yourself in a critical situation, I believe inspired by the real life heroes of our past, you will be inspired yourself to rise to the occasion and achieve the unthinkable.
