ABOUT
Reveals what being a jet-age pilot and navigator is all about and captures the excitement and stress - and the prestige - of belonging to one of Britain's leading fighting units: the RAFs 29 Squadron.
Against the background of Exercise Maple Flag - a Canada-based NATO operation during which aircrew trained under war conditions - Hugh McManners looks at the independent and tough-minded men who fly the squadron's F3 Tornado jets. He records the huge workload with which they have to cope: controlling radar and weapons systems, flying and navigation as well as working out how to defeat an often technologically superior enemy. And he tells how the engineers and technicians on the ground maintain exacting schedules of perfection for each aircraft on every flight.
Illustrated throughout with colour images.
