Publisher’s Summary

The first-ever inside look at the US military’s secretive Remotely Piloted Aircraft program – equal parts techno-thriller, historical account, and war memoir.

Remotely piloted aircraft (RPA), commonly referred to by the media as drones, are a mysterious and headline-making tool in the military’s counterterrorism arsenal. Their story has been pieced together by technology reporters, major newspapers, and on-the-ground accounts from the Middle East, but it has never been fully told by an insider.

In Hunter Killer, Air Force Lt. Col. T. Mark McCurley provides an unprecedented look at the aviators and aircraft that forever changed modern warfare. This is the first account by an RPA pilot, told from his unique-in-history vantage point supporting and executing Tier One counterterrorism missions. Only a handful of people know what it’s like to hunt terrorists from the sky, watching through the electronic eye of aircraft that can stay aloft for a day at a time, waiting to deploy their cutting-edge technology to neutralize threats to America’s national security.

Hunter Killer is the counterpoint to the stories from the battlefront told in books like No Easy Day and American Sniper: While special operators such as SEALs and Delta Force have received a lot of attention in recent years, no book has ever told the story of the unmanned air war. Until now.

    chocolate chip cookies

    this is a very cool book. it outlines what or how the Air Force uses the predator to hunt the United States enemies overseas. it begins early in the life of a pilot who flies awax and ends with a squadron commander who has done it all gradebook.

    No political Bias. Just a narration of modern soldier's perspective.

    Really enjoyed it. It might be dry read for some people but to truly understand what happens in black box to operate unmanned air craft. To understand modern warfare in form of intelligence gathering and true bird's eye view on unknown future of Unmanned machines. It made me appreciate the layers of checks and balances before single hell fire missile leaves aircraft's railing.

    Important story....needed to be told!!

    Very good read. I found myself in the cockpit with the author. And...I understand the RPA community so much better now!

    Yes

    Very good, first half was better than the last, but worth the credit if you're an military aviation buff like me.

    Great insight into a dynamic community.

    This book shows how the RPA program has grown in such a small amount of time. The community's role in the military is still being forged, and in many ways this book shows that it's limitations can be overcome with luck, hard work, and persistence.

    great book brought to life by Mr. Graham!

    Wonderful book from start to finish that gave a great look into the growing RPA mission!
