Helicopters in action: SAR

I stumbled across "Rescue Pilot" last week, by Dan McKinnon (ISBN 0-07-139119-3).

Dan (ex Chairman of the CAB, President North American Airlines) joined the USN back in 1956, and had a fascinating time flying Piasecki HUP helicopters, related in this book. Scary stuff, worth it to read of his 62 rescuees picked up in just one 7 month cruise
