Time of Flight
by Spencer Emch
Go on an unforgettable journey of discovery with Spencer Emch as he deploys to Iraq.
In his debut book, Time of Flight: A Gun Pilot’s Story, Emch explores the full spectrum of human emotions servicemembers go through when they’re put into dangerous situations fraught with chaos and uncertainty.
“The good, the bad, the hilarious, and the surprising are all included in this war story of human experience and emotion,” said Emch, who served in the U.S. Army for 12 years as both a musician and an Apache helicopter pilot. “I lead readers on a journey from what seemed like safety from within the borders of an allied nation to the war-torn deserts of Iraq along a crescendo of combat missions.”

Having served with Emch, he calls a spade a spade! Exceptional account of deployment life through the eyes of an incredible human being; a must read.

“In the olden days, it was said that a true gentleman warrior, is versed with both sword and quill and Spencer stays true to the saying! I was hooked from the first lines and the descriptions were so vivid, that they made me feel like I’m in the story! Great read!”

Spencer is the best human I know. Long time friend who has always been there for me I matter what!

A different kind of story from what I was expecting. This is in a good way as we got to see how life for a pilot is affected by squadron mates as much as the enemy. If you want a different kind of military aviation story that delves into the human experience outside the cockpit, then “Time of Flight” is right for you. I certainly gained a new appreciation for Army Aviation. Highly recommend

Weaving a story of personal experience beyond just the facts of a story is not an easy thing to do. Spencer and Tactical 16 accomplished this objective and successfully brought a book that explores the mysteries of honor, relationships, and duty on the ground and in the air. Excellent read!
