Bryan Smith is the Safety Program Manager for the Airborne Public Safety Association and writes a column in the association's magazine. Bryan is not only a full-time chief pilot/flight instructor of a law enforcement air support unit, he has provided safety training to aviators in the USA, Canada, Europe, Africa and Brazil. This book contains over 10 years worth of articles, advice and interviews in how to pursue the highest levels of aviation safety and mission effectiveness. APSA was founded in 1968 as an educational organization whose mission is to serve, save and protect from the air and one way to accomplish that is through its safety education and outreach.

The profession of public safety aviation has wide-ranging responsibilities; the most important is to perform the mission successfully and arrive home safe. In his quest to reduce flight risks and increase mission success among his peers, Bryan's collection of writing reminds law enforcement aviators that they can also help counter flight risks with learning, listening and training--training from the classroom, books, magazines, conversations, online resources and real-world experience. He says the best pilots have the motivation to seek out training and go beyond the minimum requirements. The best pilots are ones who don't think he or she is the best because there is still so much to learn. The best pilots, mechanics, TFOs and aircrew members are all of you who are reading this, because you want to get better.

Bryan also reminds public safety aviators to look up with pride. For a moment at least, look away from the...mud...we have been walking through and look up to see how amazing you are and what incredible work you do. Look up at the amazing views we are gifted through the cockpit windows. Look up at the incredible technology you've created to make the world a better place. Whether you fly, fix, create gear or support this industry, look up and see that you are contributing to an incredible history.

In the 1920s and 30s, a handful of men spread across the globe connecting communities to the worldwide wireless telegraphy network. They worked from ships, fog-shrouded islands, and remote huts on mountaintops. Some faced more danger than others.

Sam and Erin were high school sweethearts. When Sam decided to join the Marine Corps in 2003, the trajectory of their lives was sealed. Sam ultimately sustained a severe traumatic brain injury, and the next thirteen years centered around Sam's survival.

Despite their tragedy, a young Sam and Erin made a promise to each other-a promise to never stop striving to be the best versions of themselves, to live life to the fullest, and to never give up hope. Erin did everything in her power to live up to that promise during Sam's life, which has now become her mantra as she continues on without him.

This is a love story, a testament to the power of positivity, and a lesson in resilience.
