Flying with the Navy
Steve Bond
Heather Bond
Flying with the Navy is a once-in-a-lifetime publication and a must-have for all devotees of this truly astounding branch of the armed forces.
During five years of research for the four volumes of the Fleet Air Arm Boys book series covering the post-war FAA, former personnel not only contributed a huge quantity of stories but also sent many thousands of photographs, largely taken by themselves, and mostly never previously seen. It soon became clear that what was needed was a stand-alone photograph-heavy book, showing off many of these superb photos to best effect by giving them up to a full page or more with high quality reproduction.

From Jet Provost to Strikemaster (Revised Edition)
David Watkins
This book covers the complete and long overdue history of the Hunting/BAC Jet Provost and Strikemaster, which for 38 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. By 1957, there was a contract for the production order of 100 Jet Provost T Mk. 3s. The Jet Provost even had a display flying team between 1958 and 1976 but was eventually withdrawn from RAF service in 1993.

Hawkeye
Brigadier General Giora Even-Epstein
This fast-moving autobiography details the experiences of Giora Even-Epstein, who for more than thirty 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 high-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.
