I'm not trying to piss on anyone here, but I think some clarification might help.
The money that you pay for this book is not going to good causes, the profit from selling the book is going there.

Following the success of the book "Out of the Blue", (it has so far raised £25,000+ for the military charities) a second volume - "Out of the Blue Too" is now available from the RAF Benevolent Fund website Royal Air Force Benevolent Fund online shop ? Out of the Blue Too
All the money goes directly to the military charities

A great Christmas present - for you and the charities!
The RAFBF Website states:
100% of the profits from the sale of this book will be donated to military charities with 50% to the RAF Benevolent Fund and 50% divided between ABF and RNRMC equally.
This is like a re-run of the RIAT fundraising thread. Rough figures (very rough) for RIAT are 7.5 Million quid raised at the gate and sponsorship deals, and just 175,000 heads towards the charity, which gets watered down and ends up about 90,000 quid to good causes after the lawyers and bean counters have had their slices.
If anyone is interested, I'll get the most recent figures, but that's the ball park figure.
As for this book deal, I look forward to seeing how much the RAFBF actually get from sales of it.
The important point that I want to make, is that the idea expressed in the OP is not what's happening.

Victor, that's great news for the RAFBF, maybe you could get them to clarify it on their website.
The suggestion that only the Profit is going to Charity leads more than just me to expect that some people are getting paid for their part in the production.
