This book is very interesting because it tells of a conflict that I knew little about, and that with a series of beautiful photos illustrates the action of an aircraft that proved to be extremely effective. The further interest is given by a narration of events that is fluid and never boring.

Each section has some knowledgeable background text though the bulk of the content is made up from both black & white and colour images of the Hunter, and all with extensive and informative captioning. The long and varied career of the Hunter remains a fascinating story, and the showcase of completed models, in various scales, show some very nicely completed models. Plenty to inspire other modellers to try more of the Hunter in its' varied career. An excellent addition to the Flight Craft series.

A fascinating biography

Historians of several persuasions (including aviation) with an interest in the British Empire during the 1920-1930 period may find this volume of interest, while readers with a more ‘generalist’ interest in aviation, its development and its civil and military applications may also find it of interest, Aircraft modellers may find the images within the book useful to their hobby. Readers without an interest in aviation might also find it worth a read; it is an excellent, unique and well-written story.

Seventy-nine heavy bombers failed to return from the catastrophic raid on the industrial city of Leipzig on the night of 19/29 February 1944. Some 420 aircrew were killed and a further 131 became prisoners of war. It was at that time by far the RAF's most costly raid of World War II.
