Book excerpt: An Epic Adventure into the Heart of the War in Afghanistan Strap your safety belt on tight for this gripping aviation journey into the heart of the Global War on Terror in Afghanistan. Join Navy Lieutenant Matt Vernon, the first US embedded aviation advisor to fly with the Afghan National Army Air Corps' Combat Helicopter Squadron, as he embarks on a unique and daunting mission to train Afghan pilots and not get killed in the process. LT Vernon and his close friend Commander Joey "Doc" Swartz flew side by side with their Afghan counterparts while establishing the Air Corps' first combat medical evacuation detachments in the depths of the largely Taliban controlled sections of Afghanistan. These sailors in arms lived amongst the Afghans, and in doing so bring the untold, inside story of the hearts and minds of the Afghan Air Corps.
