| Summary: | "When you spend 25 years working with a rescue helicopter crew, you can find yourself in many dramatic situations. Like being the 'dope on a rope' - the crew's own term for the rescuer who dangles from a winch over stormy seas trying to pluck people from heaving ship decks or from ferocious waves. Or being alone on the silent hillside with a crashed plane and five dead bodies. or being bitten by an angry guard dog during a police raid. Dave Greenberg experienced these things and more while working with Life Flight - the Westpac Rescue Helicopter service in Wellington. These are Dave's stories."--Back cover. |
