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’.
*Signed by Mike ‘Wally’ Grout, Andrew ‘AJ’ Smith, Graham Bowerman, and Les Hendry*

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.

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.

V-Bombers (Paperback)
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.
