RAF Flight Lieutenants John Peters, pilot, and John Nichol, navigator, were shot down over the desert at the beginning of the Gulf War. This is their harrowing story, a riveting human story of capture, imprisonment, and eventual release. (Kirkus UK)

The battered faces of the two British airmen which appeared on the world's television screens in January 1991 are lasting images of the suffering and brutality of war. The pictures here show the pilot and the navigator as they are today.

RAF Flight lieutenants John Peters and John Nichol were shot down over enemy territory on their first airbourne mission of the Gulf War. Their capture in the desert, half a mile from their blazing Tornado bomber, began a nightmare seven-week ordeal of torture and interrogation which brought both men close to death.

In Tornado Down, John Peters and John Nichol tell the incredible story of their part in the war against Saddam Hussien's regime. It is a brave and shocking and totally honest story: a story about war and its effects on the hearts and minds of men.
