Autorenporträt
Steve Jones spent twenty-seven years in the military, earned his stripes as a ferocious war pilot, and has been decorated eight times. He fired the UK's first controversial thermobaric missile; helped track and kill Most Wanted Taliban commanders; and taught Prince Harry to wage war from an attack helicopter. Jones had been the UK's youngest trainee military pilot when he signed up. He went on to serve with the Army Air Corps in the Balkans, in the Gulf War, twice in Northern Ireland, and three times in Afghanistan. Along the way he secured the Queen's Commendation for Bravery after pulling comrades from the burning wreckage of a crashed helicopter. Steve Jones left the army in the rank of Warrant Officer Class 1, the highest non-commissioned rank in the British Army. Based in Aberdeen, he now flies helicopters servicing the North Sea oil industry.
