Typhoon
Pre-order the thrilling account of the Typhoon FGR4s in the war against ISIS, from the RAF Wing Commander who led them into combat.
'Puts you right there in the cockpit' JOHN NICHOL, bestselling author of Spitfire.
In 2016, the RAF's Typhoon deployed to the Middle East for the first time. Flying from RAF Akrotiri in Cyprus, the RAF's Top Guns were required to make pinpoint strikes against the ruthless enemy. Flying a heavily armed, state-of-the-art supersonic multi-role jet, 1 Squadron's pilots knew slightest error could have fatal consequences for innocents on the ground.
But with the ever present threat of hi-tech surface-to-air missiles and Russian Air Force jets with orders that were often at odds with the NATO mission, the British flyers couldn't afford to be careless of their own lives. For their boss, Wing Commander Mike Sutton, the sadistic murder by the enemy of an allied pilot shot down over the battleground was never far from his thoughts.
Typhoon is a gripping and dramatic story of modern war that puts the reader into the cockpit like never before. Strap in, light the afterburners, and hold on tight . . .
