Tug Wilson grew up in North Yorkshire dreaming of becoming a fast-jet pilot. In 1985 that dream came true when he joined the RAF. He was selected to fly the mighty Phantom for his first tour, and after three years raging around the frontline over Germany, he became a tactics and flying instructor on the Hawk T1A. Following this, he was extremely lucky to secure an exchange tour with the US Marine Corps flying the legendary F-18 Hornet in California. His final flying tour was on the Tornado F3 before a heart condition curtailed his fun. He now tells flying stories for a living. This is the third book in his inimitable and highly successful Fonthill series, after Confessions of a Phantom Pilot (2021) and Confessions of a Flying Instructor (2023).
