During Jimmy's 19 + years Army career, he had spent several years in Japan where he was trained with a monk; a real 19th century ninja, in the mountains of Iga Province in Japan. The monk trained Jimmy in Ninjutsu, the ancient art of stealth, and taught him to be a ninja, a shadow warrior who specializes in blending into his surroundings, the art of non-detection and avoidance.

Excerpts from the Air Rescue introductory story...........

It all began in the 1980's, when Air Rescue started-up a helicopter rescue business. The company's main line of business was transporting medical patients from hospitals, picking up people at car accident sites, taking people off ships at sea and basically specialized in air pickups of all kinds. Accident rescues was Air Rescues most profitable business for years, there bread and butter so to speak and they were very good at this line of work. Business was good.
In 1985, Air Rescue decided to officially start-up the combat rescue business and started hiring commandos out of various militaries. The commando unit of Air Rescue began from an idea of one of the aircrew personnel, who had a background in Special Forces. He took upon himself to do a little freelance work and went on a mission to rescue a businessman kidnapped in a South American. He successfully rescued the businessman being held by drug lords and received a nice reward payment from the man's company for a good job.
By the 1990's, Air Rescue was a well established, successful paramilitary-for-hire business. Commandos were used extensive on special rescue operations, especially during the Beirut Civil War to save kidnapped victims for large sums of money. One of the heroes of that period of time was "Jimmy West" who was so successful in sneaking into and out of Beirut that his paid fee increased to one million dollars per mission and he became known as "the stealth warrior" for his nighttime rescue tactics.
Air Rescue Stories are about the exploits of commando Jimmy West and the reports he filed.
