Helicopter Heroine: Valérie André-Surgeon, Pioneer Rescue Pilot, and Her Courage Under Fire

Valérie André is one of the great military aviators of the twentieth century. She was the first woman to fly a helicopter in combat and one of the first three helicopter medevac pilots. André was a trailblazer, flying more than 150 helicopter rescue missions during the French war in Indochina, and parachuting into the field twice. André, who just turned ninety-nine, is still alive and lives near Paris, and this book is based on a series of author interviews with her and comprehensive research in other sources. » Order your copy from Annex Bookstore today
