DESCRIPTION
THE SUNDAY TIMES TOP 10 BESTSELLER
Read the legendary story of the Lockheed C-130 Hercules aircraft, seen through the eyes of former RAF captain Scott Bateman
'An engaging and revealing read' JOHN NICHOL
‘An action-packed insider’s account of what it’s like to fly this legendary flying machine in peace and war’ KeyAero.com
--
Take wing with an unsung hero .
Hercules is the hero of the skies we never talk about. First to land in any combat zone and last out, the Hercules always unflashily gets the job done – whether that’s a risky air drop or hauling out troops in an emergency evac.
Also working as an aerial tanker, gunship, spyplane, air-sea rescuer and even a precision bomber, its versatility has time and again seen the Hercules give the RAF their edge – from Antarctica to Iraq, Afghanistan to the Falklands.
Captain Scott Bateman drags us into the cockpit and buckles us in for an extraordinary pilot’s seat view of this aircraft’s 50-year history.
Anytime. Anywhere. Anyhow.
