Beneath the Blades is about the many humorous situations the author encountered in his long career flying helicopters while in the military and then as a commercial pilot. The author hopes that whoever reads these anecdotes will have a laugh or two and a smile on their face when they are done. It is an insider look at the often quirky experiences of a helicopter pilot that the public at large never gets to witness.
