An excellent book about the British version of the F-4

I first read this book about twenty years ago, before I had met many RAF folks. It was a marvelous introduction to the thrills, danger, competition and boredom of squadron life. Near death experiences, the deaths of friends and the strange peace of hurtling along at high altitude at night in a peacful and calm world... armed to the teeth and hunting for Russians. This is an inspiring book for those who are interested in military aviation, informative too. The mock combat scenes are very informative, they show the island I was born on in a very different perspective. Well worth the read.
