When 800 Naval Air Squadron - callsign 'Recoil' - arrived in theatre their Boss Commander Ade Orchard knew there could be no slip-ups. Day and night the Fleet Air Arm crews were on constant alert ready to scramble their heavily armed Harrier attack jets at a moment's notice in support of the men on the ground.
The call wasn't slow in coming. Just fifteen minutes after getting airborne for the first time Orchard and his wingman were in the thick of it called in when an Apache helicopter gunship was forced back by heavy fire . . .
The first book written by a serving British fast jet pilot since the 1991 Gulf War Joint Force Harrier offers an unprecedented heart-stopping insight into the realities of modern air warfare. The complexity and sophistication of the equipment may have moved on since the epic war battles of WWII but it's clear that the courage skill and character of the men engaged in this struggle for a country's survival has not.
