During five years of research for the Fleet Air Arm Boys series former personnel not only contributed a huge quantity of stories but also sent many thousands of photographs, largely taken by themselves, and mostly never previously seen. Flying with the Navy is a once-in-a-lifetime publication and a must-have for all devotees of the Fleet Air Arm.

Steve Bond is back with the final volume in this popular series. Unlike his previous three tomes, with their focus on air/rotorcraft, this book is uniquely dedicated to the personnel of the Fleet Air Arm themselves. Each chapter will concentrate on the memories of contributors who served in a range of roles, including those below the flight deck.

Steve Bond has interviewed a number of veterans, all with captivating tales of their time on the Gloster Javelin. Alongside their anecdotes is a detailed history of this unusual aircraft, accompanied by photography. This book is bound to appeal to all aviation fans.

A chronological look at every aircraft type flown in an air defense role for the Fleet Air Arm since 1945. All delivered in the words of the men themselves.

Following on from the success of volume one, this second volume covers every fixed-wing aircraft type flown from carriers in the strike, anti-submarine warfare and the vital airborne early warning roles. With true stories of the last 76 years from aircrew, maintainers, aircraft handlers and many other supporting staff.

To date there has been a paucity of books on this remarkable aircraft. Among its claims to fame are the following: the only RAF bomber to serve in its original role from first day of war to last, and in every theatre, the first type to bomb Germany, the first type to bomb Berlin, the first type to drop the 4, 000lb 'Cookie' bomb, and so on.

Grub Street is proud to present Meteor Boys, the latest title in its ever-popular Boys series. As Britain's first jet fighter, the Gloster Meteor has had a remarkably varied and lengthy life. But whilst many books have focused on its development and service history, the time has come to hear the personal experiences of its air and ground crews.

The follow-up to Volume One focuses on Shackleton operations overseas. Steve Bond has garnered another exceptional group of Shack operators who delight in giving the reader their tales of derring-do. Another one for the Boys' kitbag!

A collection of accounts from the pilots of the Avro Shackleton - the RAF's first line of maritime defence from 1951 to 1991. Squadrons were based in the UK, the Mediterranean, the Middle East and the Far East. A second volume is set for release next year.

Interviews with veterans reveal the captivating tales of their time on the aircraft. Accompanied by never-before-seen photography too.

From the autumn of 1943 to the last days of winter in early 1944, RAF Bomber Command directly assaulted the German capital Berlin. The authors, utilising considerable primary source material piece together the remarkable, yet ultimately tragic stories of some of those lost fighting the Battle of Berlin.

The work of the RAFs 100 Group remains one of the least known aspects of the 1939-45 war. Even less has been written about the specifics of day-to-day electronic warfare operations and the countermeasures employed. This book, the result of many years meticulous research by Squadron Leader Richard Forder RAF (Retd) redresses the balance by focussing on one the heavy units, 223, and its sister units at RAF Oulton, Norfolk.

To date there has been a paucity of books on this remarkable aircraft. Among its claims to fame are the following: the only RAF bomber to serve in its original role from first day of war to last, and in every theatre, the first type to bomb Germany, the first type to bomb Berlin, the first type to drop the 4, 000lb 'Cookie' bomb, and so on.
