 Clearly told. Different perspective on serving in Afghanistan September 9, 2010
W. James D. Easton (Bonita, CA USA)
She is clearly exceptionally capable, operating what is arguably the most difficult aircraft in current use-at least among Western allies. The writing is open and talks about bad breath, latrine smells smelly feet, boy friends, weddings, and embarrassments. Where I was disappointed was not in the writing, which is very well done,but in her apparent lack of deeper thought beyond her immediate experience, and the egregious waste of a major investment when she leaves the military at the end of her third tour of Afghanistan.
Interesting perspective from a lady pilot August 31, 2010
RedPanda (Essex)
I enjoyed reading this book. It's not as technical as Ed Macy's Apache and, for me, it loses a little because of that but Charlotte writes very well and gives a superb picture of the realities of life in the middle of nowhere, and the (unnecessary) additional pressures of being a female officer.

I have read quite a few books on the British fight in Helmand province and i thought this was the least interesting.
I really don't know why these pilots seems to have to explain their personal life with us...
not that i am not interested in people's lives, but these are not writers..so it makes for
quite boring reading. Add the girl factor to this one, and by the end of the book
you will understands that Loo's are very important to girls, lots of descriptions of them in this one.
Skip this one and to straight to Ed Macy and on to Mark hammond for Chinooks.
 A Killer Read August 5, 2010

What a thought-provoking insightful read 'Dressed to Kill' is. Charlotte Madison took on the men, became their equal, earning their respect and finally showing that female pilots in the military can do the job without any special allowances because of their gender. As an ex-military officer myself, I was very interested in her personal thoughts on the war in Afghanistan and how it affected her. A woman's natural instinct, so they say, is to nurture and protect so as a frontline Apache pilot, Charlotte clearly wrestled with her concience almost daily when faced with the dark side of war. She is definately one tough cookie and I am truly in awe of her determination and resilience when faced with 3 long tours in such a horrible place. The book will open your eyes if you thought that servicemen and women are uncaring and unaffected by what is happening in Afghanistan. A gripping read.
a fresh angle July 30, 2010
Alan Hume (scotland)
having read the ed macey apache books i was expecting the same type of book but was surprised to find a fresh and dif angle to this type of book with a womans view of the training and war
