Jet Jockeys

Thanks to a well-known on-line website, I've just received a copy of Peter Caygill's book Jet Jockeys.

An excellent account, with plenty of very welcome technical detail, of flying the RAF's early jets - Meteor, Vampire, Venom, Sabre, Swift, Hunter and Javelin. I think that it's out of print now, but the copy I managed to obtain is virtually brand-new.

Not just a good account of flying those early aircraft, but a fascinating insight into a very different RAF...

Meteor QFIs were lucky to have survived such times!
