Discover the exhilarating first-hand account of one man's
white-knuckle life as a fighter pilot with the Royal Navy Sea
Harriers 'A searingly honest, keenly observed, well written and
extremely funny military memoir . . . A must read' RAF NEWS 'An
outstanding first-hand account from inside the cockpit, told with
flair and humour' JOHNNY MERCER MP, author of We Were Warriors
'Puts you in the cockpit for carrier landings, missile firings and
some of the most intense close air support stories imaginable' MIKE
SUTTON, author of Typhoon _________ Paul Tremelling spent nearly
twenty years with the Royal Navy's Sea Harriers, charged with
standing in the way of Her Majesty's enemies. In the cockpit or
crew room, the pressure was relentless, the humour merciless. It's
no place for the faint-hearted. Whether landing on a pitching
aircraft carrier deck in the middle of the night or screaming in to
save the lives of heroes under fire in Afghanistan, there was no
room for self-doubt; only honesty, confidence and do-or-die hard
truth. Combining visceral action with sharp intelligence, laced
with acerbic humour, Harrier pulls no punches in bringing to life
the hi-octane, unforgiving world of the fighter pilot, in the air
and on the ground. Strap-in . . . _________ 'Mad, bad and dangerous
to know . . . Tremelling lights the burners in an extraordinary
memoir that leaves most military memoirs sitting behind in the
hangar' JAMES BRABAZON, author of My Friend the Mercenary 'This
isn't a book for the faint-hearted. It is a book for anyone who
appreciates insight into how a fighter pilot trains, trains more,
thinks (fast), handles the aircraft and onboard tech . . . then
fights' FLYER 'Tremmers puts you in the cockpit for carrier
landings, missile firings and some of the most intense close air
support sorties imaginable. Insightful, laced with humour, and
highly recommended' MIKE SUTTON, author of Typhoon 'An inspiring,
enlightening and thrilling insight into how modern aviators earn
their pay. The stories from Afghanistan alone are justification
enough to read this brilliant book. A masterpiece' PAUL BEAVER,
author of Spitfire People 'A memoir that reads like a fast-paced
thriller. Harrier launches straight onto the classics shelf of
aviation literature' JOHN TEMPLETON SMITH, author of White Lie
