Jindabyne,
I am intrigued about the error on page 1 - would you PM me or can you share it with the masses?

Particularly poignant to reflect, in light of the very sad loss of the Navy Seals and others in the CH-47 shoot down this weekend, is the almost complete inability to deal with direct fire from unguided weapons. If you put any aircraft in front of a bloke with an AK47/AAA piece or an RPG and it's in the wrong place at the right time, people and aircraft get hurt and damaged.
The finale chapters (and I'll be vague so as to not spoil the reading) where the boys get in under the weather really does put the 'close' in close air support and MEDEVAC. Thank goodness for red and green flares and relatively simple aircraft.
Big cajones stuff from the aircrew and staggering bravery and determination from the SAS to deal with the numbers thrown at them.
