Just finished Tornado and couldn't put it down. This book delivers an insightful journey back to the inception of Tornado as a jointly conceived aircraft from the Cold War to its engagement in 1991 to liberate Kuwait, and beyond bringing us right up to date.

Having been very fortunate to have met the author in 2019 and jokingly mentioned I was going to borrow a copy of Spitfire; I feel very humbled having read this now. …Your service and gallantry will long be remembered, and all freedom loving peoples owe you a lasting debt of gratitude”. A war that is so recent that the stories have currency today.

Having served as both a Tornado Pilot and Navigator, John really has done a great job of writing this. Highly recommended reading 📚 🛩️🫡 Having already read Spitfire and Lancaster i knew it was going to be good but i think having a personal connection with the aircraft made it extra special. A superb account of what the crews went through during a very challenging time.

I thought I knew much of the history of the gulf war, turns out I knew little of the human and technical impacts of it. Thank you for telling the story. Well worth reading.

Looking forward to the next aircraft book that John fixes his attention to. What a great book.
