high-stakes world of an RAF fighter squadron at war' JOHN NICHOL
________ 'I eased the jet's nose down and rested my index finger on
the trigger. Three seconds to go. Almost 500 knots. The whole
airframe pulsed as I started to fire . . .' Mike Sutton led the
RAF's premier Typhoon squadron into battle against a brutal enemy.
Flying the world's most advanced multi-role combat jet, every
mission across the treacherous skies above Syria and Iraq saw him
and his team tested to the limit. The threat of being shot down was
a fact of life. Every split-second decision meant the difference
between life and death. Typhoon brings to life the exhilarating and
exacting world of a fighter squadron at war like never before.
Strap in, light the burners, and hold on tight . . . ________ 'A
fabulous insight into the mind of an accomplished fighter pilot and
leader as he takes on the biggest challenge of his career' FLYER
