Description
Fear. Perseverance. Loyalty. The one-of-a-kind memoir of an ace air-rescue pilot in one of the bloodiest campaigns of the Middle East.
None of us stepped down from the standby as heroes, and there was no applause at the end of the line in Beaufort; we were simply different, perhaps.
When Lieutenant Colonel (res.) Meidan Barr lifted off in his air-rescue helicopter, he never knew if he would come back. In the dark and stormy days of 1997, there were only a handful of pilots who dared to cross into the active warzone of Southern Lebanon, hovering inches above ravines and dense forests while battling against time, terrain, and enemy fire.
Sit inside Lt. Col. Barr's cockpit as he drops into mission after mission in one of the world's most dangerous professions. From his first flight as a young pilot to commanding daring extraction operations across war zones, Barr's Bell 212 "Anafa," a twin-engine rescue workhorse, pushes readers to the very limits of endurance.
Tense, authentic, and deeply human, Over Enemy Lines captures the grit and grace of the men who risked their lives flying at the edge of danger; a story that reveals the unforgiving beauty of flight and the unbreakable brotherhood forged in the skies.
