Critics Review
An adrenaline-fuelled, gripping account that puts you right in the cockpit of one of the RAF’s most modern combat aircraft. Typhoon is a rare insight into the high-pressure, high-stakes world of an RAF fighter squadron at war – John Nichol
Few war memoirs achieve lasting popular acclaim … The exceptions are the ones that tell timeless truths about, usually men, in battle and its human costs - Stephen E.

Visceral … Captivating * Daily Mail *
A fabulous insight into the mind of an accomplished fighter pilot and leader as he takes on the biggest challenge of his career * FLYER *
