Mash Angels

Richard C. Kirkland

From one of the nation's first rotor pilots, a blazing account of his most top secret, dangerous missions.

From the first primitive Sikorsky and the sophisticated choppers of Vietnam to flying medevac choppers and saving countless soldiers from certain death in Korea, Kirkland’s firsthand accounts of pilots under fire provide a gripping portrait of not just one American hero, but the many courageous others with whom he flew. . .

Richard Kirkland is legendary for his P-38 Lightning missions in the South Pacific theater during WWII. 

The nerve-racking chopper missions he has flown are the stuff of legend: scrambling to evacuate president Harry Truman after an unthinkable “code red one” alert comes over his red phone; bantering with the real “Hawkeye” at a MASH unit before flying into North Korea to rescue wounded soldiers. 

A gripping portrait of not just one American hero, but the many courageous others with whom he flew.

A blazing account of his most top secret, dangerous missions. Richard Kirkland would never have imagined that anything could compare to tangling with Zeros in life-and-death dogfights over the South Pacific—but that was before he traded his fighter-pilot wings for rotors. It was a move he never regretted.

An engaging and inspiring account of people willing to put themselves in danger in order to save lives.

MASH Angels provides a personal account of danger and heroism from one of the pilots who pioneered the use of helicopters for battlefield medical evacuation, telling of his front-line experience rescue flying and military medicine challenges. A 'must' for any military library strong in war accounts.
