description: FROM A REVIEW BY TOM EELES FOR “AIR PILOT” MAGAZINE: This is the third in the series compiled by the triumvirate of Dim Jones, Ian Cowie and Chris Long. Unsurprisingly, it follows the successful format of the first two that have already raised more than £60,000 for Service Charities. The range of the 110 stories is hugely impressive, from the Second World War right through the years up to relatively recent times. Some are serious, many are hilarious, and all are fascinating. Their subjects cover the widest imaginable range of military flying activities, social misdemeanors and ground activities associated with military aviation. No fewer than 41 different aircraft feature. Dim Jones, Ian Cowie and Chris Long have done a magnificent job bullying their friends to recall their experiences, then collecting these wonderful stories and organizing the publication of the book. It is an absolute bargain and a ‘must have’ Christmas present for any aviator, military or civil, or anyone remotely interested in aviation. I recommend it in the highest possible terms.
