"...the text adds a welcome history covering all of these aircraft and the early Cold War period they served. For those wanting a good photo book on RAF jet fighters, this hits all the checkboxes." - Internet Modeler

With 290 colour images, almost all previously unpublished, RAF Fast Jets in Colour: The Cold War and Beyond illustrates the evolution of one of the most technologically advanced air forces in the world. It provides essential facts and descriptions of the designs, capabilities and operations of household names such as the Hunter, the Phantom, the Typhoon and many more, highlighting uncommon details including variants in camouflage, squadron markings and special anniversary colours. From the Gloster Meteor, which entered service with the RAF in July 1944, to the contemporary American-made F-35B Lightning, now a crucial component in NATO's air defence, this is your essential illustrated guide to the RAF's most prominent fighter and reconnaissance aircraft since the start of the Cold War.

Ten Fighter Boys
<p>The extraordinary stories of ten fighter pilots, told in their very own words during the Second World War.</p> <p>First published by Collins in 1942, this utterly compelling collection of first-hand accounts of ten fighter pilots' experiences at the helm of the Spitfires of 66 Squadron paints one of the most realistic depictions of the battle for the skies over wartime Europe.</p> <p>Offering incredible personal insights into the wartime experience - both in the air and on the ground - the stories are told with unaffected zest, by men who were living in the constant presence of death.</p> <p>Five of the original contributors were killed before the book was originally printed, including the books editors, Wing Commander Athol Forbes and Squadron Leader Hubert Allen. Jimmy Corbin, the last surviving contributor and author of the foreword, passed away in December 2012.</p> <p>Written right in the middle of the war, in the pilots' own words, Ten Fighter Pilots is a truly original and unique account of a terrifying time.</p>
