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.

RAF Boys in the Far East (Signed Copy)
Steve Bond
For 82 years the Royal Flying Corps (RFC), which in 1918 became the Royal Air Force (RAF), maintained a permanent military aviation presence in the Far East. Throughout that time a huge variety of squadrons, flying many different aircraft types, together with all the necessary operational, technical and administrative support, took on all that was asked of them. RAF Boys in the Far East illustrates what it was like for those air and ground crew who were there by telling their stories in their own words, supported by explanation of the situations at the time and photographs primarily drawn from veterans’ own collections. The stories are as varied as the locations, the units and the personnel; everyday operations, exercises, triumph and tragedy, off duty time, and of course, the humour for which the RAF is renowned.

This volume focuses of the early months of the hugely significant Pointblank Directive air campaign which saw Allied forces conduct daylight bombing offensives against strategic targets in southern Germany and south-eastern Europe. It also notes action against Axis allies such as Hungary, Rumania, Bulgaria, and Slovakia, that were being encountered for the first time by Western Allies. With minute and original detail and accompanied by hundreds of unpublished photographs, this is essential reading for scholars of the Second World War Allied air campaigns.
