Now approaching my 90th Birthday I have very happy memories of my time in the RAF (34 years). This book triggered some of these but being a Shackleton Signaller, then an AEO on Valiants and Vulcans, I found it a little disappointing that it was so 'Pilot' and 'fast jet' oriented. I especially enjoyed the poems. Overall this is a good read and of especial interest to those who have a passion for aviation.

If you love flying stories..

then this (and its 2 predecessors) need to be in your collection.

Mostly witty, sometimes exciting and occasionally sobering, these are salutary tales from brave and lucky (and fallibly human) pilots and support crew from the last 80 years.

All in a good cause too!

Armchair flying at it’s best!

Have read all three books in this series, fantastic collection of stories from a wide era of RAF flying. Encompasses a wide range of perspectives, not just the “hot seat” and as a pilot, I found these the most interesting. Highly recommended...

Out of the blue series

Brilliant, funny & poignant.
Love these stories both from times gone by and more recent. Would reccomend this series of books.

A great read

Funny and informative, obviously the guardians of our skies had some very scary times but still maintained a sense of humour.
