What They're Saying
Critics Review
This is a searingly honest, keenly observed, well written and extremely funny military memoir and a must read for anyone interested in the tight brother and sisterhood of fast jet jockeys. It’s a rare insight into a world hidden from view by operational security and corporate PR and all too often only revealed years too late … It’s insightful, unapologetic and, at times hilarious * RAF News *
This isn’t a book for the faint-hearted. It is a book for anyone who appreciates insight into how a fighter pilot trains, trains more, thinks (fast), handles the aircraft and onboard tech … then fights * Flyer Magazine *
The storytelling wouldn’t be out of place in a thriller. If you are going to take one book on holiday it has to be Harrier … it’s a superb read. You won’t be able to put it down * Aerospace *
A wild ride. This is the literary equivalent of injecting pure adrenaline into your brain via your eyeball. Taut and lean. It’s a blast from start to finish * Aviation Historian *
