My Brother in law flies medvac helicopters in the army and for Christmas I wanted to get him a book with some cool stories of helicopter missions or rescue missions in it that would apply to his field. Newer stories are what I'm looking for, although most of what I found on Amazon were Vietnam stories which definitely could be an option but I wanted to see if anyone had any suggestions. Thanks.

In the company of heroes - Mark Bowden

None braver - your BIL may like this one too.

Six minutes to Freedom. Delta Force rescue of Kurt Muse in Panama.

Chickenhawk

It's been almost 3 years since I read this book, but I recall it being a good one. (I read a lot, so it has to stick out some for me to remember it.)

Vietnam Air Rescues (Kindle)

Another vote for Chickenhawk.

Not a book but a pretty interesting article.

Not a book but I can give you a first hand experience of their service.

Have not read the book but this popped up in my Amazon suggestions this morning:

Dustoff 7-3: Saving Lives Under Fire in Afghanistan

I read this one in 2009.

Vietnam Air Rescues

I recall it being a pretty good read. When I got this book, it was free on Amazon, now it's $4.99.

The Raid about the Son Tay Raid, very good book.
