Fast Jets and Other Beasts

Personal insights from the cockpit of the Hunter, Phantom, Jaguar, Tornado and many more

Personal insights from the cockpit of the Hunter, Phantom, Jaguar, and Tornado.

Over a thirty-two-year military flying career which spanned a period when the RAF regularly replaced its fighter/bombers, Ian Hall had seven front-line flying tours on five different types.

All these flying tours provide a rich seam of material for incisive, amusing and, sometimes, reflective observations from the cockpit.

Later, Ian surprised himself somewhat by switching to civil aviation, and the book touches upon the twelve-year experience of a fast jet pilot who became a direct-entry turboprop captain.

Finally, equipped with pipe and slippers, he reflects on a great life of flying, as well as taking a brief look at the things that keep a retired pilot amused. An ideal read for anyone fascinated by tales of aerial exploits.
