Exciting and breathtakingly pacy...This is exactly how modern
history should be written
*Andy McNab*
Gripping, endlessly fascinating detail. I read the book in one
sitting: it is an utterly compelling war story, brilliantly
written
*Simon Winchester*
A masterwork of narrative history. Brilliantly described, the story
of an impossible British mission is a compelling one; it's telling
long overdue
*Clive Cussler*
Big heavy bombers. Proper old-fashioned heroism. And triumph of
ingenuity over limited funding. So far as I'm concerned, it has the
lot and to cap it all it reads like fiction when it's actually
fact. I more than enjoyed it, it could have been written specially
for me
*Jeremy Clarkson*
Exceptional...Written like the very best thriller, it draws the
reader into the exclusive world of the combat crew in a unique and
truly gripping way
*John Nichol*
