In an international study, the Lightning was voted the fifth most
popular military aircraft of all time. It has many thousands of
devotees who are a ready market for this entertaining book which
relates the highs and lows, the dramas and the demands of those who
operated this iconic aircraft from the sharp end. Tales include the
recollections of an aerobatic display pilot, an implausible yet
true account of telepathic communication, and an extraordinary
episode when a Lightning pilot on an exchange programme with the
French air force became embroiled in a mid-air collision. An
unverified yet probably genuine world record is also revealed in
one of the chapters. In addition to the 16-page photo section, the
book features a unique sketch from renowned aviation artist Chris
Stone – who is a former Lightning pilot. The style, scope and
pace of the writing will appeal to the general reader as well as to
the enthusiast.
