Storming with Norman (Signed)
Jeremy John Witts
Les Hendry
This book concentrates on the air campaign that enabled the ‘100-Hour’ land campaign of the Gulf War and the Royal Air Force’s part in it. It is a gathering of personal recollections from one of the many unit commanders involved. Lacking the benefits of hindsight, it is an honest attempt to ‘tell it how it was’.

Teddy Peacock-Edwards (Signed Copy)
Rick Peacock-Edwards
The grandson of a prominent Edinburgh lawyer, and the son of a self-made farmer in South Africa and Southern Rhodesia, Teddy Peacock-Edwards was born on 27 May 1915, in Kokstad, South Africa. He was one of eleven young men from Southern Rhodesia recruited into the RAF in 1938 and thence followed a multi-varied time in the RAF encompassing the full span of the Second World War. This book, written by his acclaimed fighter pilot son, Rick Peacock-Edwards, describes his father’s formative years and gives his overall impressions of his father as an individual, a father, and fighter pilot. A fascinating insight from someone who, because of his comparative experiences and achievements, understands better than most the requirements for becoming a successful fighter pilot. A unique tribute to a remarkable man.

Rocket Boys
David Baker
Rocket Boys is a tale of the generation of test pilots flying experimental aircraft powered by rocket motors during the period from 1945 to the mid-1970s. It is not a technical description of the aircraft they flew but the narrative of the men who built the machines and the pilots who took to the air to achieve unprecedented speeds and altitudes.
