Their Lives on the Line: The Helicopter Rescue Services in New Zealand
Author(s): Steve Locker-Lampson
It is over thirty years since the first civilian rescue helicopter in the world started operating from Piha beach near Auckland. Since then the various rescue services throughout the contry have come a long way and are now conducting thousands of missions every year. This book looks at some of the history, much of the current work carried out by these services and explores the reasons why the dedicated crews of these machines risk their lives time after time to bring swift medical help to where it is urgently needed.
