Summary

Pre-order the thrilling account of the Typhoon FGR4s in the war against ISIS, from the RAF Wing Commander who led them into combat。


The Eurofighter Typhoon FGR4 is the most advanced multi-role combat aircraft in the world。 Capable of flying at nearly twice the speed of sound and powering to a height of over ten miles in less time than it takes to boil a kettle, a single Typhoon can also deliver a heavy bombload with such lethal precision that a whole squadron of Lancasters could not have guaranteed the same result。

Taking command of the RAF's premier Typhoon squadron represented the pinnacle of Mike Sutton's career as fighter pilot。 Until the day he was told he would be leading 1 (Fighter) Squadron into battle against a bloody and brutal enemy hellbent on establishing a permanent stronghold across Syria and Iraq and spreading terror across the free world。

Their mission was to help stop them in their tracks。

In proving the Typhoon in combat, they would be flying in some of the world's most treacherous skies, where ground fire, anti-aircraft artillery and the latest surface-to-air missiles posed a constant danger。 The threat of getting shot down behind enemy lines was a fact of life。

Typhoon is the first inside account of the RAF's long war against ISIS; a campaign in which any mistake could have devastating consequences。 The loss of innocent lives resulting from their fight against the enemy was simply not an option。 1 Squadron fought with distinction over the trenches of the First World War, in the Battle of Britain and during the Falklands War。 Over an intense, extraordinarily demanding deployment against a brutal enemy, this gripping and dramatic story of modern conflict sees them in action once again。

Published in 2021, 'Typhoon' is a biographical account of one man's life as pilot of a Typhoon FGR4 combat aircraft with the RAF。 It also covers his prior time with the RAF and his progress through the training process and his operational posting to a Jaguar squadron, before being posted as Commander of the RAF No。 1 Squadron flying Typhoons and combat against ISIS。 As an account by an RAF pilot this stands alongside the best, yet stands apart in its description of just how much the RAF has move Published in 2021, 'Typhoon' is a biographical account of one man's life as pilot of a Typhoon FGR4 combat aircraft with the RAF。 It also covers his prior time with the RAF and his progress through the training process and his operational posting to a Jaguar squadron, before being posted as Commander of the RAF No。 1 Squadron flying Typhoons and combat against ISIS。 As an account by an RAF pilot this stands alongside the best, yet stands apart in its description of just how much the RAF has moved on in technology terms。 The combat elements are a world apart from the poorly researched news bulletins of the events described and are both gripping and honest in their approach。 Terrific。 。。。more

AmazingThe dedication, and application of huge amounts of knowledge and continuous training for perfect application。 Eye opening, staggering and immense pride in the performance and professional manner in which the RAF put their lives on the line for our country。 Written in such irresistible and detailed manner。 Couldn’t put it down。 Simply brilliant!

An interesting insight into the world of an RAF fast jet pilot; one which a non-military bod would usually be privy to。Alongside the educational aviation and war lingo, were well written anecdotes and stories that kept you enthralled and interested as you read along。 I completed this book in three days as each chapter kept me wanting more。Well done on a great book, and cheers to a fantastic career。 Thanks for your service。
