The Falklands
AKA: "White Out: SAS Falklands Rescue" In the Falklands War, a top secret SAS mission to South Georgia involves flying up the sheer face of a glacier and dropping men on an icy plateau, riddled with crevasses.
Vietnam
AKA: "Vietnam Firefight" In the Vietnam War, flying into jungle produces a different kind of hazard. In a daring rescue mission a desperate pilot cuts his own landing zone in forty foot tall bamboo.
Afghanistan
AKA: "Taliban Gambit: Trapped By The Taliban" In Afghanistan, the combination of high altitude and dusty conditions make combat flying particularly challenging.
Duel in the Desert
In the Iraq War, flying in the desert poses unique difficulties - there’s nowhere to hide, and a dust storm accompanies every landing and take-off.
