Three years of training until he flew the beast for the first time, and before that, two decades of model aircraft, magazines, air shows. Now, his dedication rewarded, he shows us what is involved in flying a high-performance het fighter in today's world of electronics, incredible strike capacity and savage speeds.

Underlined by a deep love of flying, his book tells of a fighter pilot's work in all its many guises - air combat, escort duty, formation flying, missile and gunnery practice, low-level flying, intercepting intruders. He tells, too, of the difficulty, the mishaps, and the worse-than-mishaps that accompany life on the limits, where a few seconds' delay can bring danger a mile closer.

Above all, he tells of what no layman can ever guess, the joy of flying the multi-role, multi-capability Phantom in every possible part of the sky, and on any type of work.
