From Airwolf to Bond, helicopters must be the most exciting transportation around.
But they're also changed modern warfare, from Iraq to Vietnam.
This gripping series charts the heroic stories of the most daring military helicopter missions ever flown. The pilots all share common traits – incredible flying ability and a lot of bottle.
The first episode recounts the SAS battle to retake South Georgia during the Falklands War in 1982 when two choppers crashed on a remote glacier.
A third helicopter was sent in on a rescue mission; would any of them come out of this white knuckle ride alive?
