Bob Tuxford's memoirs offer an enthralling account of his 20-year career in the Royal Air Force. Spanning highlights from active service around the world, including an exchange tour with the US Air Force and participation in the Falklands war.

The book chronicles Tuxford's pivotal role as a Victor K1s captain, where he played a crucial part in the first Black Buck mission during the Falklands campaign. His experience led to him being awarded the Air Force Cross for gallantry.

This memoir is not just of interest to aviation enthusiasts, but also provides insight into the importance of tanker squadrons within the RAF during the Cold War era.
