Description
Tempest Pilot is a personal account of one man's experiences as a pilot in World War II. Jimmy Sheddan recounts his time with 486 Squadron, flying the Hawker Tempest and achieving significant success.
The book offers a unique perspective on life as a fighter pilot during wartime, including a remarkable survival story and a crash landing in a Tempest after a battle with a V1 flying bomb.
With a foreword by AVM J E 'Johnnie' Johnson, CB, CBE, DSO and 2 bars, DFC and bar, and an appreciation by Group Captain Johnny Iremonger DFC, this book provides a fascinating insight into the life of one of few Tempest pilots to tell their story.
