Description

Buckle up for a wild ride through the clouds with a man who spent thirty years defying gravity and common sense! In this riveting retrospective, the author takes you on a journey from the Royal Air Force’s rookie ranks to the lofty heights of Group Captain, all while piloting a staggering 175 aircraft types.

Join him as he recounts his escapades at the Aeroplane and Armament Experimental Establishment, where the phrase "test pilot" becomes a thrilling understatement. From the high-stakes thrill of flying with the United States Air Force to commanding squadrons and overseeing an RAF base, his tales are anything but ordinary.

With around 7,000 hours logged in everything from gliders to the gargantuan B-52 bomber, and from supersonic jets like the Lightning to iconic bombers such as the Victor and Vulcan, every page is bursting with adrenaline.

Harry's reflections, spiced with sharp wit and a dash of humour, offer not just a glimpse into aviation history but a front-row seat to the audacious spirit of the Royal Air Force in the latter half of the 20th century.

This book is an absolute must-read for anyone with their head in the clouds—or those who simply love a cracking good story.

Get ready for takeoff!
