In 1958, a helicopter flew across a March sky, bringing wonderment to an eight-year-old boy. Eleven years later, that wonderment became reality as the young man enlisted and completed the US ArmyÕs helicopter flight training. Fifty years later, his story comes to life in Once We Flew.

Sepesy straps the reader into his Huey helicopter, and shares vivid accounts of his journey from know-nothing new guy to Aircraft Commander and Flight Leader. With insight extracted from 2,200 combat flight hours, Sepesy introduces his brave band of brothers who served at his side, those who taught him how to fly and survive, as well as those who were indifferent or foolhardy. Then, Sepesy leads the reader through his monumental struggles as a civilian, embarking down a new path to battle the scars of war, including PTSD.
Meet those who earned the respect of fellow soldiersÑwarrant officers with big mustaches, big watches and bad attitudes. They were aviators, nineteen years old who were going to life foreverÑyouths in command of quarter-million-dollar aircraft, equipped with machine guns shooting real bullets, flying at 120 knots, nap of the earth. And, enjoy the unique, inherent humor of military life and lighter moments of youthful pilots goofing off, their shenanigans and devil-may-care attitudes.

Returning to civilian life, and no longer indestructible, Sepesy faced new situations and responsibilities. But, the wounds and scars of war, the physical injuries and PTSD, along with a continued military mindset, presented new challenges and complicated every-day routines. Muddling through the more mundane obstacles of college and home, and family and career, became another struggle to overcome. During the next five decades, numerous operations plagued the author, and the insidious ways of PTSD went undetectedÑa new journey of survival and accomplishment, would begin.

Good bag! Lots of space inside and very cute.
Color: Green, Size: One Size
My everyday purse! Really comfortable to wear and fits lots of stuff. I can fit my macbook air, a toiletry bag and a small makeup bag! Although it did come with some thread strands when i first got it, i just cut them and haven’t had an issue since.

Fabulous Bag
Color: Black, Size: One Size
When I picked this bag I was so unsure of what I would receive. This is a fabulous bag with so much room, easy to carry, lightweight, and such a great bargain for the price. It has a good zipper and I love using it over my more expensive bulky heavier bag. The balck is elegant and perfect for day or evening time.

Love these bags. The material is soft soft. The little bucket bag is great for a small shoulder bag. Great value for the money. Versatile and made well.

Cheap looking
Color: Brown-2, Size: One Size
I bought this purse because the color matched so well with the shoes have had purchased. But the purse looks extremely cheap like it's made of plastic. I carry it to work but I'll probably donate it because it looks so bad to me.
