In 1958, a helicopter flew across a March sky, bringing wonderment to an eight-year-old boy. Eleven years later, that wonderment became reality as the young man enlisted and completed the US ArmyÕs helicopter flight training. Fifty years later, his story comes to life in Once We Flew.

Sepesy straps the reader into his Huey helicopter, and shares vivid accounts of his journey from know-nothing new guy to Aircraft Commander and Flight Leader. With insight extracted from 2,200 combat flight hours, Sepesy introduces his brave band of brothers who served at his side, those who taught him how to fly and survive, as well as those who were indifferent or foolhardy. Then, Sepesy leads the reader through his monumental struggles as a civilian, embarking down a new path to battle the scars of war, including PTSD.
Meet those who earned the respect of fellow soldiersÑwarrant officers with big mustaches, big watches and bad attitudes. They were aviators, nineteen years old who were going to life foreverÑyouths in command of quarter-million-dollar aircraft, equipped with machine guns shooting real bullets, flying at 120 knots, nap of the earth. And, enjoy the unique, inherent humor of military life and lighter moments of youthful pilots goofing off, their shenanigans and devil-may-care attitudes.

Returning to civilian life, and no longer indestructible, Sepesy faced new situations and responsibilities. But, the wounds and scars of war, the physical injuries and PTSD, along with a continued military mindset, presented new challenges and complicated every-day routines. Muddling through the more mundane obstacles of college and home, and family and career, became another struggle to overcome. During the next five decades, numerous operations plagued the author, and the insidious ways of PTSD went undetectedÑa new journey of survival and accomplishment, would begin.

LOVE the COLOR! durable and affordable - MUST BUY
Size: 34W x 32L, Color: Yellow
These TEGIAS slim-fit stretch plaid jeans were perfect for my Halloween costume! The color and pattern stood out great and matched exactly what I needed. Beyond the costume, the fit is surprisingly comfortable—soft, stretchy, and not restrictive at all. They have a nice slim look without feeling tight, and the quality feels solid for the price. I ended up wearing them longer than expected because they’re that comfortable. Definitely a great find if you need something stylish for an outfit or costume. I’d absolutely buy them again!
