'The Confessions of a Phantom Pilot' is the true story of a young
RAF pilot who gets his dream to fly the old dirty workhorse fighter
of the Cold War. From the first flight where he thought the jet was
trying to kill him, through to his final trip of leading eight
aeroplanes on a front line fighter squadron, you will relive his
thoughts, feelings and anxieties as he stumbles his way through
each flight relying on a bit of skill and a lot of blind luck. In
essence, it is a love letter to the Phantom from a star-struck boy
who felt like he was way out of his depth at the beginning of their
affair. You will share stories of the outrageous drinking culture
that was a major part of Cold War front-line operations, and marvel
at how he didn't do himself some serious damage either in or out of
the cockpit. This is how it feels to be a front-line fighter pilot
- the triumphs and the disasters are all laid out here in a
completely open and honest way as the author looks back with a
certain sense of nostalgia and mild embarrassment. What a blast
though!
