FLEET AIR ARM BOYS

Volume Four: A Lifetime of Reminiscences From the Flight Deck STEVE BOND

Steve Bond is back with the final volume in this popular series. Unlike his previous three tomes, with their focus on air/ rotorcraft, this book is uniquely dedicated to the personnel of the Fleet Air Arm (FAA) themselves. Each chapter will concentrate on the memories of contributors who served in a range of roles, including those below the flight deck. Accounts will focus on the everyday life upon an aircraft carrier as well as the extraordinary challenges faced during operations. There is a fascinating chapter covering exchange services with the RAF and other navies including the French and US; and also insight into the Indian navy’s experience with the Sea Hawk and Sea Harrier. Within the previous volumes, we met some remarkable characters and there is a chapter devoted to people’s memories of them. The closing section entitled ‘Thoughts’ sees contributors reflect on their FAA career with many deeply moving responses and discourses on the future of the service.

The book is heavily illustrated throughout in colour and black and white with personal photographs from the contributors, artwork and tongue-in-cheek cartoons for which the FAA is famous. Volume Four is the perfect conclusion to the ongoing post-war story of a truly astounding branch of the armed forces.

NB: A forthcoming film, with the author as chief consultant, entitled Britain’s Top Guns — The Fleet Air Arm Story, is now in preparation.

JET PROVOST BOYS

True Tales From the Operators of the Jet Provost and Strikemaster

DAVID WATKINS

As a versatile and undemanding aircraft, the Jet Provost established itself as the basic trainer for the RAF from the late 1950s until its retirement in September 1993. In Jet Provost Boys, David Watkins explores the history of this magnificent flying machine through the vivid memories of former air crew from the RAF and foreign air forces.

Alongside operating as a basic training aircraft, the Jet Provost had relative success within the civilian and military display flying circuit of the 1960s and 1970s. It was also part of the prestige Golden Eagle Flight at RAF Cranwell which taught the then Prince of Wales how to fly. When the Jet Provost Mk. 5 model became the BAC 167 Strikemaster after some modifications, it assumed a counter-insurgency and light-attack role. This capability allowed the aircraft to be sold to air forces around the world including Ceylon, Nigeria, New Zealand, Sudan and Venezuela where it played a reliable and effective role in multiple border disputes and internal warfare. It was crucial to the Sultan of Oman Air Force during the Dhofar War as the intervention of Strikemasters assisted in a significant turning point in the conflict.

This book includes a foreword by Squadron Leader Terry Lloyd who was the leader of the 1964–1965 Pelicans display team as well as being illustrated throughout with black and white and colour photos. This latest addition to the Boys series is not to be missed and will appeal to all aviation fans.

REVISED EDITION, NOW IN PAPERBACK FROM JET PROVOST TO STRIKEMASTER

A Definitive History of the Basic and Counter-Insurgent Aircraft at Home and Overseas

DAVID WATKINS

This book covers the complete and long overdue history of the Hunting/BAC Jet Provost and Strikemaster, which for thirtyeight years trained generations of pilots and pioneered the RAF’s all-through flying training programme. Originally designed and built in 1951 as a private venture by Percival Aircraft in Luton, the Jet Provost became the primary jet-powered training aircraft for the RAF following a series of experimental courses at RAF Hullavington in 1955. The Jet Provost even had a display flying team between 1958 and 1976 but was withdrawn from RAF service in 1993.

The development of the BAC 167 Strikemaster in the 1960s saw a light-attack aircraft designed for counter-insurgency operations and predominantly used by overseas air forces. Adopted by thirteen air forces, both types have seen an array of action. Despite some 723 Jet Provost and Strikemaster airframes produced between 1954 and 1983, these aircraft have been overlooked in contrast to other jet types in the same period until now.

David Watkins has produced an extensive look at these aircraft after years of painstaking research assisted by veterans and historians. Having accessed the archives of the Warton Collection, he has amassed a range of rare photography to accompany the extraordinary history of these jets. From Jet Provost to Strikemaster is a work of narrative and technical detail which will satisfy the most avid aviation fans.

“The book presents a fascinating and detailed history of the aircraft and includes a range of rare photographs.”

“David Watkins has filled a gap in telling the story of a significant post-war aircraft. This book is sure to be popular.”

DISPLAY TEAM BOYS

True Tales of Military Derring-Do From the Early Jet Years to Date

CHARLOTTE BAILEY

Whether an ardent aviation enthusiast or not, all those who have turned their eyes upward to the sky at an air show will be familiar with the thrilling flying performed by multiple aircraft. However, long before the world-famous RAF Red Arrows were simultaneously looping and rolling through carefully choreographed aerial routines, a wide variety of other military teams were taking it in turns to wow the crowds.

With the formation of an aerobatic team serving a number of highly useful purposes – from expanding pilot capabilities, to showcasing a service’s skill to a PR engagement with members of the public – these aerial entertainers seldom failed to excite.

Following the evolution of British aerobatic teams from the dawn of the jet age, this meticulously researched volume incorporates exhilarating first-hand accounts from a myriad of RAF and Fleet Air Arm outfits: including early Meteor and Vampire formations, lesser-known Hunter teams, popular Jet Provost units, the iconic Yellowjacks and their celebrated successors, right up to the ‘Reds’. So climb aboard a Sea Vixen, strap into a Lightning and follow the Black Arrows around their world-record 22-Hunter loop in this comprehensive profusely illustrated celebration of formation flying.

VAMPIRE BOYS

9781911667391 | £25.00 | hb

“Vampire Boys, extremely well written by Charlotte Bailey, is crammed full of anecdotes and adventure that will not only entertain even the lay reader but will strike jealousy into the hearts of modern-day RAF fast jet pilots.”

Colin Goodwin, Pilot

Charlotte Bailey is an award-winning journalist and author of the critically acclaimed Vampire Boys, published in 2022. She began her aviation career building special-shaped hot-air balloons. However, a love of fixedwing flight prompted a sidestep into writing and she has worked on titles worldwide, as well as learning to fly a Piper Supercub.

Alongside her writing work, she helps crew for the last airworthy exRAF Vampire in the world, the T.11 WZ507 – a venture the heritage and history of which she describes as an “essential element” to preserve.

FROM SPITFIRES TO VAMPIRES AND BEYOND

A Kiwi Ace’s RAF Journey

OWEN HARDY

EDITED BY AIR MARSHAL G. A. ‘BLACK’ ROBERTSON

World War Two Spitfire pilot Owen Hardy was probably the last New Zealand ace to tell his story. He left home at 18 bent on joining the RAF and by 1942, aged only 20, he was at Biggin Hill with 72 Squadron under Brian Kingcome. D-Day found him flying over the Normandy beaches with 485 (New Zealand) Squadron. That he survived the war unharmed owed as much to luck as it did to his ability as a fighter pilot. Unable, though, to settle in civilian life afterwards in New Zealand, he returned to the RAF for the second phase of a remarkable career.

Converting to jets, Hardy went on to command 71 Squadron, leading a Vampire aerobatic team with considerable success across Europe – dodging MiGs at the same time! But adapting to peacetime service wasn’t easy. Previously stimulated by the wartime environment and still passionate about flying, he was less enamoured with staff jobs; and this despite working on the introduction of a new, state-of-the-art missile system, Bloodhound. Then a fateful decision, to turn down command of a Javelin squadron and follow his mentor, led finally to disillusionment.

Hardy pulls no punches in this forthright and refreshingly honest autobiography. In retelling his eye-opening story, editor G.A. ‘Black’ Robertson shines a light on what it was like not just to fly in combat, but also on the changing face of a post-war RAF which arguably undervalued some of its heroes. From the heat of North Africa to the uncertainties of the Cold War, it’s a unique and enthralling tale.

STANFORD TUCK

Hero of the Battle of Britain: The Life of the Great Fighter Ace HELEN DOE

The first full reappraisal of one of Britain’s great fighter aces, this book examines the truth behind Tuck’s 1956 biography, Fly for Your Life. It looks at the evidence behind the myths, checks out some of the exaggerated stories and reveals the real Stanford Tuck. In January 1942 Bob Tuck was the top-scoring British fighter ace with an official score of 29 enemy aircraft destroyed. With film-star looks he was the glamorous role model for the RAF publicity machine and an eager press and public wanting wartime heroes. He had joined the RAF in 1935 and quickly showed his excellent flying skills. In 1940 his Spitfire squadron was fighting over Dunkirk where he proved himself an expert shot. During the Battle of Britain his legendary prowess grew and he was posted to command a leaderless and demoralised squadron, this time flying Hurricanes. He continued to prove he was an outstanding fighter ace, gaining the rare distinction of three DFCs and then the DSO for his leadership.

He was shot down over France in January 1942 and imprisoned in Stalag Luft III. His room-mate was Roger Bushell, the mastermind of the Great Escape and Tuck worked with him on the committee and was to be his partner in the escape. In January 1944 however, around 20 POWs, including Tuck, were purged to a new camp. Still determined to escape, when his camp was moved out on the Long March westwards, Tuck and a Polish officer took a risky chance and made their way east to Russian forces and thence to England.

This book reveals a more complex man than the onedimensional hero of the previous biography. Post war, he became good friends with the Luftwaffe ace, Adolf Galland, and was a key advisor with him on the film, Battle of Britain, and, often with his other friend, Douglas Bader, made many media appearances. His health suffered in later years from the impact of his war service and his imprisonment and he died aged 70 in 1987.

Helen Doe is a well-established author and historian with a PhD in history from the University of Exeter. Stanford Tuck is her second biography focusing on World War II RAF aces.

M e 262: HITLER’S JET PLANE

MANO ZIEGLER

The Me 262 was the world’s first operational military jet. Hitler believed that it would become Germany’s ‘miracle weapon’ and took a great personal interest in its development. Pilot Mano Ziegler was involved from its inception and contributed to its design and testing.

Could the Me 262 have broken Allied supremacy in the air? Why did it take so long to come into service and why were hundreds of German pilots sacrificed in developing it? Most important of all, why did the Me 262 prove not to be the unparalleled success that Goering claimed it would be and what role did Hitler play in this ultimate failure? These are some of the questions this compelling book answers.

“Written by someone who was closely involved with its design and testing.”

Aeroplane Monthly

“A most comprehensive account of the ME 262, from the initial development stages through to its belated entry into service during the final months of 1944.”

Pegasus Archive

“Hitler’s Jet Plane is an absorbing book…All in all, it has to be said what a good book Herr Ziegler wrote. His expertise with the Messerschmitt ME 163 gave him the knowledge to write it.”

WW2 Connection

MANO ZIEGLER, born on 7 June 1908, had a lifetime fascination with flight. At the age of eight, he wrote to Manfred Freiherr von Richthofen, the famous ‘Red Baron’, asking to be allowed to fly with him. Remarkably, Richthofen replied, telling him, “Yes, we’ll fly together!”. When war broke out in 1939, Ziegler became a pilot in the Luftwaffe, and from 1943 to the war’s end, he flew the Me 163 with Jagdgeschwader 400.

After the war, Ziegler escaped from Russian captivity and – having returned to Berlin – continued to fly and write newspaper articles. His arresting account of the Me 262 fills a crucial gap in the history of the Luftwaffe and of aviation in general.

SABOTAGE!

An in-Depth Investigation of the 1943 Liberator Crash That Killed Polish General Sikorski

CHRIS WROBLEWSKI and GARTH BARNARD

On the night of July 4, 1943, transport aircraft Liberator AL523 took off from Gibraltar’s North Front tarmac and within minutes crashed to the ground with only one survivor, the pilot. The commander-in-chief of the Polish army and prime minister of the Polish government in exile, General Wladyslaw Sikorski, was dead.

Rumours as to the cause of the crash abounded. Was it pilot error? Was it, as officially classified, merely an accident, or was it, as the authors conclude in this riveting and meticulous study, an act of sabotage?

The catastrophe has led to several conspiracy theories over the years that still persist, often proposing that it was an assassination, variously blamed on the British, Soviets and Nazis. However, by sifting through numerous primary sources, the complete court of inquiry transcript, detailed analysis of aircraft components and systems, and unearthing many little-known eyewitness accounts, the authors’ conclusion is compelling.

Despite AL523 being heavy and possibly overloaded, this was not the contributing cause of the crash. The pilot had competently taken off and cleared the runway. The sole reason for the aircraft’s fall to earth was simply a cotton rag used by Polish saboteur Bronislaw Urbanski to obstruct elevator travel. He and he alone was responsible for one of the most shocking events of WWII.

This is an exhaustive piece of investigative journalism to put the record straight once and for all.

Lead author, Canadian CHRIS WROBLEWSKI’S background in aircraft maintenance and military history proved advantageous in his research for this book.

Co-author and British-born GARTH BARNARD has a lifelong resolve to investigate catastrophic air crashes in WWII and his work on the Sikorski crash led to him being investigator on related TV programmes and presenter to many historical societies in the UK.

V-BOMBERS

Britain’s Nuclear Frontline in the Cold War

DR TONY REDDING

Much has been written about the V-bombers – the Valiant, Victor and Vulcan – but virtually nothing has been said about their strategic nuclear strike role. How would Britain’s small force of subsonic bombers have retaliated following a Soviet attack? Would they have succeeded in visiting thermonuclear catastrophe on their Soviet targets? V-Bombers: Britain’s Nuclear Frontline in the Cold War is the first detailed account of the operational capability and credibility of Britain’s airborne nuclear deterrent during the peak years of the Cold War.

This book is the product of six years of research by the author, Dr Tony Redding. It includes a great deal of fresh material on V-force weapons, war mission, targeting, vulnerabilities and tactics for attacking targets within Soviet Russia. Over 70 V-force aircrew and ground crew are interviewed and over 300 operational research reports and other official documents are reviewed. This book demonstrates how the V-bombers retained a unilateral capacity to destroy the largest cities in the Soviet Union until the handover of the strategic nuclear deterrent to the Polaris submarines in 1969. It concludes that a small force of surviving V-bombers could have unleashed the explosive power of all Allied bombs dropped on Germany in six years of war, but in the space of the first two hours of World War 3. A sobering thought and a fascinating and necessary read for all those interested in this period of history.

DR TONY REDDING is a military historian and author with a particular interest in RAF Bomber Command. Following the publication of two books on Bomber Command in World War 2, Dr Redding began a detailed research programme on the British airborne nuclear deterrent, leading to a PhD from King’s College, London (War Studies) and this latest book, on the operational capability of the V-bomber force during the Cold War. Tony has lectured and broadcast widely on Bomber Command and other military subjects. He is also a founder member of The Chindit Society.

FACING ARMAGEDDON

With the RAF on Christmas Island 1961–1962

CHAS HALL

After being called up for National Service in July 1960, twentyyear-old Chas Hall joined the RAF and signed on to extend his time for an extra three years becoming a regular serviceman. Following initial training, he became a wireless operator and served at RAF Mildenhall. It was shortly after this that he got his first foreign posting in late 1961 to Christmas Island.

It was on this island that Chas encountered the horrors of nuclear testing. In an operation codenamed ‘Brigadoon’ by the British government and ‘Dominic’ by the Americans, Chas experienced 25 atmospheric nuclear tests. This he describes as his ‘12-month sentence’ alongside over 300 British and 10,000 American servicemen who were posted to one corner of a remote coral island.

Facing Armageddon reveals the true extent of the controversial nuclear testing and how it affected servicemen; with 25 men dying during Chas’s time on Christmas Island and many more suffering mentally as they continued serving on the island.

With the British government announcing medals for nuclear test veterans in November 2022 to recognise their contribution in the tests after a four-year campaign by participants and The Mirror newspaper, Chas’s story gives insight to why these servicemen deserve the recognition for their part in these tests.

This book contains a number of unpublished photos from the author’s personal collection and is an essential piece of work in understanding the tough conditions servicemen faced during their time on Christmas Island.

Born in London, CHAS HALL lives in rural Essex with his wife Jacqueline. Since retiring from his motorhome business, and apart from playing boogie-woogie piano, he has found a penchant for writing. Chas has published three fast-moving thrillers and a western trilogy. Over the years, he has occasionally given after-dinner talks on his nuclear experiences.

NOW IN PAPERBACK HAWKEYE

The Enthralling Autobiography of the Top-Scoring Israel Air Force Ace of Aces

BRIGADIER GENERAL GIORA EVEN-EPSTEIN

This fast-moving autobiography details the experiences of Giora Even-Epstein who, for more than 30 years, flew fighters for the Israel Air Force. Gaining the nickname ‘Hawkeye’ thanks to his amazing vision that enabled him to pick out enemy aircraft long before his squadron mates, Giora is recognised as the highest-scoring jet-mounted ace with the greatest number of confirmed victories in the French Mirage. He also compiled a record of Arab MiGs and Sukhoi kills that bettered any other combat aviators’ tally in the entire world.

With descriptions of flying in intense conflicts like the Six Day War in 1967 and the Yom Kippur War in 1973, the reader shares the cockpit with Giora as he describes every action he undertook including the greatest jet-versus-jet air battle in history with four MiG-21 kills in one engagement. His final score was seventeen aerial victories. His story is of one man’s unfaltering dedication to his dreams and his country.

“This is an enthralling account of one man’s challenging path to a front-line fighter cockpit and his unrivalled success in the skies of the Middle East.”

Aviation News

“It is the quite fascinating tale of an outstanding airman…his story is so gripping as it takes so many twists and turns along the way to his eventual well-deserved retirement.”

NOW IN PAPERBACK V FORCE BOYS

All New Reminiscences by Air and Ground Crews Operating the Vulcan, Victor and Valiant in the Cold War

TONY BLACKMAN and ANTHONY WRIGHT

The V Force consisted of three four-jet bombers, the Valiant, the Vulcan and the Victor, all required as part of the nuclear deterrent in the Cold War following the end of the Second World War. The Valiant was less aerodynamically advanced than the other two and went into service in 1955. The Vulcan entered service in 1956 and the Victor a year later. The Valiant finished operating in 1965 and the Vulcan in 1984. The later Victors were converted into refuelling tankers and carried on until 1993.

V Force Boys contains a fascinating collection of stories by V Force ground and aircrew for all three V bombers. Among other highlights, the book includes a first-hand account of dropping the last UK H Bomb, a description of how all the aircraft navigated before the days of GPS, the training the crews received and an armourer’s account of how the nuclear weapons were moved with complete safety but not in the regimented way that might be expected. In addition there are chapters which tell of incidents that would not be found in the RAF historical annals but show how the vigilant guarding of the UK had its lighter moments. A must for all Vulcan, Victor and Valiant enthusiasts.

“A fascinating collection of previously unpublished accounts and unseen photographs that enliven a superb account of this chapter of the Cold War.”

Airfix Model World “Strongly recommended.”

Royal Air Force Historical Society

““This book is a must and a great companion to the V bomber trilogy from Grub Street.”
