Discover the exhilarating first-hand account of one man's
white-knuckle life as a fighter pilot with the Royal Navy Sea
Harriers 'Searingly honest, keenly observed, well written and
extremely funny' RAF NEWS 'Puts you in the cockpit for carrier
landings, missile firings and some of the most intense close air
support stories imaginable' MIKE SUTTON ____________ Few have what
it takes to be a fighter pilot. From the cockpit to the crew room,
the pressure is relentless. One mistake is the difference between
life and death. But in the air, you'll never feel more alive . . .
Paul Tremelling knows this better than anyone. With nearly 20 years
of experience, he puts you in the pilot's seat in this thrilling
first-hand account of a life in combat. From saving the lives of
heroes under fire in Afghanistan, to performing a night trap on a
pitching aircraft carrier deck, this is life as you've never
experienced it before. Strap in, it's time for take-off . . .
____________ 'An outstanding first-hand account from inside the
cockpit, told with flair and humour' JOHNNY MERCER MP, author of We
Were Warriors 'The storytelling wouldn't be out of place in a
thriller. If you are going to take one book on holiday it has to be
Harrier . . . it's a superb read. You won't be able to put it down'
Aerospace 'Mad, bad and dangerous to know . . . Tremelling lights
the burners in an extraordinary memoir that leaves most military
memoirs sitting behind in the hangar' JAMES BRABAZON, author of My
Friend the Mercenary 'This isn't a book for the faint-hearted. It
is a book for anyone who appreciates insight into how a fighter
pilot trains, trains more, thinks (fast), handles the aircraft and
onboard tech . . . then fights' FLYER 'Tremmers puts you in the
cockpit for carrier landings, missile firings and some of the most
intense close air support sorties imaginable. Insightful, laced
with humour, and highly recommended' MIKE SUTTON, author of Typhoon
'An inspiring, enlightening and thrilling insight into how modern
aviators earn their pay. The stories from Afghanistan alone are
justification enough to read this brilliant book. A masterpiece'
PAUL BEAVER, author of Spitfire People 'A memoir that reads like a
fast-paced thriller. Harrier launches straight onto the classics
shelf of aviation literature' JOHN TEMPLETON SMITH, author of White
Lie

'Puts you in the cockpit for carrier landings, missile firings and

SUTTON, author of Typhoon _________ Paul Tremelling spent nearly
twenty years with the Royal Navy's Sea Harriers, charged with
standing in the way of Her Majesty's enemies. In the cockpit or
crew room, the pressure was relentless, the humour merciless. It's
no place for the faint-hearted. Whether landing on a pitching
aircraft carrier deck in the middle of the night or screaming in to
save the lives of heroes under fire in Afghanistan, there was no
room for self-doubt; only honesty, confidence and do-or-die hard
truth. Combining visceral action with sharp intelligence, laced
with acerbic humour, Harrier pulls no punches in bringing to life
the hi-octane, unforgiving world of the fighter pilot, in the air
and on the ground. Strap-in . . . _________ 'Mad, bad and dangerous
