Helicopter Wars (2009) - Season 1 Episodes and Ratings

AKA: "White Out: SAS Falklands Rescue" In the Falklands War, a top secret SAS mission to South Georgia involves flying up the sheer face of a glacier and dropping men on an icy plateau, riddled with crevasses.

AKA: "Vietnam Firefight" In the Vietnam War, flying into jungle produces a different kind of hazard. In a daring rescue mission a desperate pilot cuts his own landing zone in forty foot tall bamboo.

AKA: "Taliban Gambit: Trapped By The Taliban" In Afghanistan, the combination of high altitude and dusty conditions make combat flying particularly challenging.

In the Iraq War, flying in the desert poses unique difficulties - there’s nowhere to hide, and a dust storm accompanies every landing and take-off.
