Captain Kimberly N. Hampton was living her dream: flying helicopters in combat and commanding D Troop, 1st Squadron, 17th Cavalry. Kimberly's Flight is the story of Captain Hampton's exemplary life. It is told through nearly fifty interviews and her own e-mails, and is entwined with Ann Hampton's narrative of loving and losing a child.
Industry Reviews
'...a touching an inspiring story about a young girl who achieves her dreams but unfortunately loses her life whilst protecting the country she loves... a moving and educational read."-- "Warfare Magazine"
"...nearly flawless....Captain Hampton's story is a compelling one, done justice by the authors of this well researched, well sourced, easy to read book. This inspiring story of self discipline, leadership, patriotism and sacrifice should be required reading for a country far removed from the concept of total war. Even the war's staunchest critics will enjoy this unromanticized picture of heroism."-- "On Point: The Journal of Army History"
"Kimberly's Flight is many things. It's the story of the loss all parents' dread, whatever form it takes. It's the story of an outstanding young woman who realized her ambition to rise in military, fly helicopters and lead soldiers into combat. It provides a detailed and interesting insight into the challenges, hardships and occasional wackiness of life in a combat zone...Finally it's a book about healing, as the Hamptons found ways to celebrate their daughter's life and remember her in meaningful ways. "-- "Independent Mail"
