Flying the McDonnell Douglas F-4 Phantom was a young man's dream
but the path from "Civvy Street" to operational on a fighter
squadron was long, arduous and beset with obstacles. To succeed
meant the chance to fly one of the most iconic combat aircraft that
ever took to the air but not every fledgling aviator who began the
journey fulfilled their ambition to wear the coveted "Op. badge".
"Per Ardua--Training an RAF Phantom Crew" describes how Cold War
aircrew assimilated the skills needed to fly and fight the complex
fighter jet. It follows the progress through every stage and
explains why it cost millions to train each pilot and navigator.
Philip Keeble and David Gledhill, both former Phantom aircrew,
recount the challenges and the emotions encountered during the
rigorous training process in a frank yet light hearted way that
will leave you wondering how anyone achieved the goal.
