The ultimate fighting machine...

The unflinching memoir of the elite combat pilot who flew it in action...

And his nail-biting story of training Prince Harry.


'Rounds slammed the ground all around the Taliban. He hit the earth face first, vanishing into the foggy confusion of desert conflict. The Apache's engines rumbled on as we orbited, hoping to see immediate harsh, hard proof that he was no longer a threat.'

Steve Jones is a former senior British combat pilot flying with the Army Air Corps (AAC), and Apache At War is his vivid and uncompromising account of flying 'the ultimate fighting machine', the Apache AH1 attack helicopter in action. From patrolling 'Bandit Country' in Northern Ireland in the late 1990s, to taking out Taliban fighters in Afghanistan in the mid to late 2000s, with active service in the Balkans and Iraq along the way: Steve Jones offers the taut, gritty, and graphic reality of flying in military service.

Besides his time spent in the air, Steve Jones was also a qualified instructor on the Apache. He brings us a first-hand account of his time spent teaching the then 'Lieutenant H. Wales' - Prince Harry - to fly and fight the aircraft. He tells of mentoring the hard-living prince, of equipping him with skills that would later bring out the best in him in Afghanistan, offering insights into Harry the soldier and pilot far removed from the media figure that we all know so well.

Immediate, dramatic, peppered with military insights and laced with laconic humour, Apache At War is a testament to the vital work of combat helicopter pilots, as well as an intimate salute to a truly remarkable aircraft.

I truly enjoyed the book, however, the narrator needs to be made aware of how to pronounce specific jargon. As a,regular in the RAF for over 30 years now serving a part time roll, Also having had experience in the same theatres as the Author. It does Grip a little bit when the Narrator mis pronounces particular jargon in soecifically Cas E Vac which on numerous occasions is pronounced "Casevac" unlike the correcr way Caz E Vac Casualty Evacuation it is a little frustrating.
apart from that the book es an exelent rendition. thank you .

Jargon buster

Steve Jones tells a fantastic story. What a brilliant machine of war the Apache is, eminently suited to the counter- insurgency role.

Steve tells his story in such away that throughout you feel as if you are right there in the cockpit with him. A rare gift.

His story is a fitting tribute to the bravery & professionalism of our soldiers. I salute them.

My only adverse comment comes from the narration. Casevac (casualty evacuation) should be pronounced cas evac & not case vac

Thank you Steve, I take my hat off to you and your comrades.

Eye openingly brilliant.

An excellent account of a career in the Army Air Corps, its challenges and issues from early days, through conflict and war to teaching a royal officer pilot. I would recommend this book

Great read

Apache at War is a fantastic podcast that really brings history to life. The storytelling is engaging, well-researched, and easy to follow, even if you’re not an expert on the topic. The hosts clearly care about the subject, and that passion comes through in every episode. With solid production quality and immersive narratives, it’s definitely worth a listen.

Thrilling.
