An inspiring firsthand account by military aviation pioneer Richard Kirkland recounts how he and a handful of daring helicopter pilots revolutionized battlefield medical evacuation and blazed the trail for modern airevac flying. Prior to the Korean War, the helicopter was all but unknown, and rescue was uncertain at best for downed pilots and wounded soldiers stranded behind enemy lines. In MASH ANGELS Richard Kirkland recounts his experiences on the front lines of rescue flying and military medicine. Kirkland, a fighter pilot in the Pacific theatre in World War II, came to helicopter flying after the war almost by accident. Many military higherups had little use for this new, worthless contraption. But its lifesaving performances in the Korean War quickly changed minds. The helicopter was the perfect partner for another revolution in military medical carethe Mobile Army Surgical Hospital, or MASH, and the book also documents the reallife experiences of the MASH characters so familiar from the hit TV series: the nurses, surgeons (including the real Hawkeye), and helicopter pilots who forged a new era in military medical care. Helicopters of the Third Air Rescue Group were given credit for picking up 846 pilots and aircrew from behind enemy lines during the Korean War, writes Richard Kirkland. Add to that 8,373 soldiers and airmen we snatched from the battlefields and airtaxied to the frontline MASH. Quite a feat for a handful of taxi drivers.

I couldn't put down 'Tales of an AirEvac Helicopter Pilot in the Korean War.' The stories are so vivid and engaging. The author really brings the experiences of air evacuation to life, and the historical details are spot on. Perfect for history buffs like me!

Incredible Stories of Valor
These pilots were real heroes! The book does a fantastic job of detailing their bravery and dedication. I bought it for my dad, who served, and he couldn't stop talking about it. Highly recommend for anyone interested in true war stories.

Interesting but Lacked Depth
While I enjoyed the book about the helicopter pilot's tales, I felt some parts were a bit shallow. The experiences were captivating, but I wanted more insight into the emotional impacts. Still, it's a nice addition to my collection of military history books.
