For twenty-five years, Helicopter Utility Squadron Two (HU-2) called the Naval Air Station Lakehurst home. They did good in Lakehurst, but their best work was done at sea aboard navy ships where they completed a number of missions, including their primary job: that of saving lives. For this, they earned the name Fleet Angels.

Here is their history, their struggles, their heroics, and their humor. Some of the stories came from reports, and some from magazines and books. But the best—the ones that show the heart, courage, and determination of these sailors to get the job done, regardless of the cost—came from the men and women themselves who sent in their recollections for this book.
