If you’ve ever wondered what it would be like to train as a Royal Air Force pilot, this is the book for you. But don’t expect a tale of seamless progress and glamour. Ron Powell had a difficult journey.
Following on from Preparation For Flight, this second volume of memoir follows Ron’s progress during the run up to first solo and on to the thrills of spinning and aerobatics, the advanced skills of navigation and formation flying, and his personal demon, flying on instruments.
Much of the time it seemed that no matter how hard he worked on the ground, he just couldn’t produce the results in the air. And yet, after three demanding courses, he gained his wings and could look forward to flying the C-130 Hercules on the front line, the subject of the next volume.
The cover design is by Martin Butler.
You can find out more about Ron’s career, public speaking and his other acclaimed books - Battle of Britain novel, Wings Over Summer; Wings Over Malta; and the first volume of this memoir, Preparation For Flight - on his website: www.ronpowell.co.uk
