Touched by an Airman: A Gunship Love Story

By M.J. Macfarlane

Brace yourself for a heart-racing saga of love, loyalty, and redemption-where gunship thunder meets the quiet power of SAPR's fight.

Fall 2018, Bagram Air Field: Captain Sarah Mitchell and Staff Sergeant Jake Torres kindle a romance as fierce as the Afghan skies they command. Leading the AC-130U crew-gruff Major Tom, sharp-witted Lisa, steady Alex, fiery Sparky, bold Mike, stoic Nate, warm Corey, brave Tara, and wise Daniel-they blaze through missions, from Nangarhar's explosive chaos to Kandahar's starry farewell. But when Senior Airman Tara Wells exposes a predator in their ranks, the crew harnesses the Air Force's Sexual Assault Prevention and Response (SAPR) program-shifting her report from Restricted to Unrestricted, securing Safe-to-Report protections for her collateral misconduct, and embracing mental health advocacy (DAFI 90-6001)-to demand justice and heal together. This is war with a deeper mission: reclaiming trust through love and unshakable wingmen.
