IN THE SERVICE OF HOPE

Conflicts, genocide, famine, natural disasters... French military air transport crews are sent to the four corners of the world to help the victims. From the cockpit of his Transall, Captain Stanguennec, transport pilot, takes the reader to the heart of the action, from N'Djamena to Phnom Penh, from Bangui to Noumea, from Kabul to Port-au-Prince, to share the life and missions of his crew, rich in stopovers, anecdotes, twists and turns and unforeseen events. So many emotions! Because a military transport crew is an addition of skills and personalities, under the responsibility of a leader, the captain, at the service of the Nation, in the diversity of missions that can be entrusted to him: para crashes, humanitarian flights and tactical missions follow one another, at a sustained pace. But what binds these men together is above all a fierce determination to face the situation and to do everything possible to achieve the objective, despite the stress. Over the years, the complicity that binds the members of a crew has become fraternity, which has grown stronger and stronger as technical skills have been refined and experience has accumulated. Fasten your seatbelts, the Transall is about to take off! &nbsp
