Have you ever wondered what it was like to fly the Phantom? This is
not a potted history of an aeroplane, nor is it Hollywood glamour
as captured in Top Gun. This is the story of life on the frontline
during the Cold War told in the words of a navigator who flew the
iconic jet. Unique pictures, many captured from the cockpit, show
the Phantom in its true environment and show why for many years the
Phantom was the envy of NATO. It also tells the inside story of
some of the problems which plagued the Phantom in its early days,
how the aircraft developed, or was neglected, and reveals events
which shaped the aircraft's history and contributed to its demise.
Anecdotes capture the deep affection felt by the crews who were
fortunate enough to cross paths with the Phantom during their
flying careers. The nicknames the aircraft earned were not
complimentary and included the 'Rhino', 'The Spook', 'Double Ugly',
the 'Flying Brick' and the 'Lead Sled'. Whichever way you looked at
it, you could love or hate the Phantom, but you could never ignore
it for its sheer power and lethal payload. The Phantom in Focus: A
Navigator's Eye on Britain's Cold War Warrior is unique in that the
author flew in the legendary Phantom in the front line and captured
beautiful and amazing unpublished photographs that will appeal to
historians, military specialists and modellers alike.
