Description

The first official story of the Red Arrows, from their 'Top Gun' and commander, celebrating the history of Britain's world-famous flying squad. The Red Arrows represent the very best speed, agility and precision of the Royal Air Force, and the pilots behind the planes are rigorously selected for their nerves of steel, lightning reflexes, and millisecond-perfect timing. Written by the head of the Red Arrows, Wing Commander David Montenegro - a former Red Arrows lead pilot - and full of never-before-shared tales from pilots, past and present, this thrilling history celebrates the courage, daring and incredible skill of the Red Arrows pilots over the last 60 years. _____________________________________ 'A lifetime's ambition . . . It was such an incredible day- a day that anyone would dream of doing. Looking back on it, I still can't believe I've been in a fighter jet.' LEWIS HAMILTON, on flying with the Red Arrows
