Description

This is the story of the Royal Navy's Top Guns, the elite fighter pilots who have defended the UK's global interests since World War II. The author, a former Top Gun himself, takes readers on a journey through his own experiences as a fighter pilot, from the cockpit of the Phantom F-4K to the corridors of power in Whitehall.

But this book is not just a personal account of one man's experiences - it's also a critical examination of the decline of the Royal Navy, and the ways in which misleading propaganda has been used to influence policy. The author draws on his own experiences, as well as his time working on the development and production of the Sea Harrier, to shed light on the real world behind the headlines.

From the decks of HMS Ark Royal to the nuclear intelligence duties within NATO, the author's story is one of courage, determination, and a commitment to getting the job done. This is a book about the attitude and making of a war-fighter, and the importance of honesty and integrity in the face of adversity.
