Not a Natural Pilot The move from Gunner to Pilot in the RAF

From RAF Regiment Gunner to Hercules Co-pilot, this book covers in a series of short anecdotes the journey from wannabe pilot through several setbacks to eventually hunting drug smugglers in Belize, low level parachute drops at night, relief flights into Bosnia and taking Special Forces to the first gulf war; all whilst cycling the length of Mexico to meet the Tarahumaran Indians and climb its highest volcano. This should interest anyone who is tired of 'gung ho' recollections involving heroic deeds; this is the reality of life in the cockpit with all its mistakes, embarrassing moments and sudden tragedy, plus the odd instance of daring.
