This is a flying adventure book set within the framework of the
Cold War and told through the lens of the RAF Pilot's Flying Log
Book. Philip Keeble's logbooks cover ten different types of
aircraft: from learning to fly in a Chipmunk trainer in 1965, right
through to flying the Tornado F3 Fighter in 1994. These true tales
are told as anecdotal yarns, ones that put flesh on the bare bones
of a logbook in an exciting, amusing and self-deprecating way. The
narratives stir up memories of escapades and the events leading up
to them. They depict exciting sorties, dangerous emergencies,
stupid moments, funny occurrences, and operational practices, but
also show the balance and contrast of operating in the Cold War.
Keeble got into more than a few scrapes. He flew very high, very
low, and very fast with a foolhardiness that at times was culpable.
The memories of these events will make you chuckle, break out in a
cold sweat, and some may even cause a lump in your throat. The
author can vouch for the veracity of every single tale, even the
shocking ones. Strap yourselves in securely and hold on tight-for
this could be quite a ride.
