The chaos, the intelligence failures, and the split‑second decisions that shaped one of Australia’s fiercest fights of the war.

Trevor Baucom, a U.S. Black Hawk pilot who flew alongside Australian special forces, recounts the brutal battles and life‑or‑death moments he faced in Afghanistan. From landing commandos under heavy fire to surviving a crash that left him initially reported as killed in action, Trevor shares a rare perspective from inside the cockpit. Years later, still living with the consequences, he works to honour the men who didn’t make it home. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
