Given that the author is a correspondent for Jane's Defence Weekly, he is in an excellent position to produce a work of this nature, a description of the British Army's air assets and their extremly busy operational activities over the last decade or so. The book is set out very simply and we move through the book chronologically. The illustrations are excellent and it is obvious that the author has very good contacts and knows hos subject well. This is a valuble addition to what is a relatively small body of writing concerning itself with British Army aviation post World War Two. The author has probed deeply into this hitherto rather obscure area of operations and what he has found out is absorbing to read. This is an instructive and very readable account, which can be recommended to anyone keen to learn more about modern warfare.
