For decades, the Black Hawk has played a role in nearly every American conflict and is used all over the globe. This is the inside story of how the military workhorse got off the ground and became a multi-mission lifesaver. The programme reveals how its pilots and engineers learned from setbacks and tragedies to expand the Black Hawk's capabilities, thus improving its capacity to move soldiers in and out of the heat of battle.
