Don Bentley: Operation Red Wings

The Jack Carr Channel - Ein Podcast von Jack Carr

Today's guest on Danger Close is Don Bentley. Don Bentley is a former U.S. Army Apache helicopter pilot who flew QRF in support of Operation Red Wings in Afghanistan. Launching with only a frequency, call sign and last known location of the four man SEAL reconnaissance element, Don and the QRF flew into harm’s way. One helicopter and the 16 warriors aboard would not make it home.   This is a powerful conversation with someone who has spent years dealing with the emotional aftermath of that mission and has learned to channel those feelings into his writing.   Following his time in the Army, Don worked for General Electric before once again stepping up to serve as an FBI Special Agent focused on foreign intelligence cases and as an FBI SWAT Team member.   Today, Don is the New York Times bestselling author of the Matt Drake series. The next book in the series, Hostile Intent, releases on May 3, 2022. He is also continuing the legacy of Tom Clancy’s Jack Ryan Jr. series. Target Acquired is on shelves now.  You can learn more about Don at donbentleybooks.com and follow him on Twitter @bentleydonb  Presented by SIG Sauer.
