Critics Review
Exciting and breathtakingly pacy…This is exactly how modern history should be written
Exciting and breathtakingly pacy…This is exactly how modern history should be written * Andy McNab *Gripping, endlessly fascinating detail. I read the book in one sitting: it is an utterly compelling war story, brilliantly written * Simon Winchester *A masterwork of narrative history. Brilliantly described, the story of an impossible British mission is a compelling one; it’s telling long overdue * Clive Cussler *Big heavy bombers. Proper old-fashioned heroism. And triumph of ingenuity over limited funding. So far as I’m concerned, it has the lot and to cap it all it reads like fiction when it’s actually fact. I more than enjoyed it, it could have been written specially for me * Jeremy Clarkson *Exceptional…Written like the very best thriller, it draws the reader into the exclusive world of the combat crew in a unique and truly gripping way * John Nichol *Vulcan 607 deserves to become an aviation classic * Len Deighton *One helluva great flying story. The gripping narrative reads like a suspense thriller, yet every word is true * Stephen Coonts *Absolutely riveting … takes you right into the planning rooms and cockpits … Don’t miss this one! * Dale Brown *Vulcan 607 grips like a two-spar fin torsion box structure, whatever your gender * Evening Standard *Rowland White tells this splendid story with panache * Daily Telegraph *
