'COMPLETELY RIVETING. AS GRIPPING AS ANY TOM CLANCY THRILLER'
JEREMY CLARKSON January 1972: the tiny Central American country of
Belize is threatened with invasion by battle-hardened Guatemalan
paratroops. Only HMS Ark Royal, an aging British aircraft carrier
and her squadrons of fast jets and helicopters stand in her way.
But as the great ship and her air group pound their way across the
Atlantic the enemy are already deploying their air force to remote
jungle strips close to the border. In Belize they prepare for the
worst. Only a bold gamble looks likely to save the day. But it will
require every ounce of skill and daring from the carrier's small
band of aviators. The race is on. Drawing on brand new interviews
with the participants Phoenix Squadron tells the riveting true
story of a little known Cold War confrontation for the first time.
'A page-turning thriller of a book … the story never lets up, …
a gripping, hugely entertaining book’ Sunday Telegraph `Stirring,
gritty, punchy and compelling … Phoenix Squadron succeeds on many
levels ... Highly recommended.’ Aircraft Magazine 'A truly
outstanding narrative every ... there is no better read' Aviation
News 'Reads more like a Tom Clancy novel than a history book' Daily
