Interviews and quotes from those who took part livens up and gives colour to the narrative, making this an interesting read for anyone interested in Army aviation.

No reader who is enthusiastic about aircraft will fail to be fascinated by the numerous anecdotal accounts of the wide range of unique experiences gained in flying Tiger Moth, Auster and DH Beaver fixed-wing types, Scout, Sioux, Gazelle, Lynx and Apache helicopters in a very wide variety of military roles and operational environments. Moreover, the book is testament to Guy's ability to quickly research and assimilate a huge amount of information and present it in a detailed but easily accessible way, thanks in part to an index which, in itself, must have taken immense patience to produce. Without doubt, the book is one of his greatest achievements to date and I know from personal contact it has given him great satisfaction to write. Highly commended.

A comprehensive account. Illustrated to a very high standard.

He interweaves historical fact with oral history. It brings his subjects to life, particularly when read from the professional soldier's viewpoint. It also adds colour to what could easily be a black and white report of days gone by.
'From Auster to Apache' captures 70 years in an Aviation squadron's vibrant life and tells us just how much has changed in the intervening years - and just how much has remained the same.
This book is densely packed and may be read as an interesting story or mined for nuggets of useful information.
It is a must for all who have served in 656 Squadron and highly recommended for those who have an interest in our history.

For those that resist buying such books, 'borrow' the book and just quickly read General Sir John Learmont's foreward and then turn to Appendix 1, the list of honours and Awards, you will be quickly sold!
Readers will quickly appreciate how much work has been involved in researching, collating and then ultimately writing such a detailed history.

From Auster to Apache is a well-written account of a remarkable squadron. The book is a worthy addition to the annuals of the RAF.

It was on 31 December 2012, that 656 squadron celebrated its 70th anniversary. Over the intervening years the squadron has served with great distinction in India, Burma, Java, Malaya, Borneo, Hong Kong, the UK, the Falkland Islands, Bosnia, Kosovo and, most recently, in Afghanistan. This is 656's story, told in full.

The Bulletin

The book is excellent, lots of contributions which add colour - Guy was on the ball in getting the gen from so many. All my local friends are queueing up to borrow it.

I was so pleased to meet Guy Warner and I thought his address about how the book came to be written, and his admiration for the achievements of the Squadron through its 70 year history was inspiring. It is obvious that he enjoyed writing the book and he clearly recognised the importance and significance of the task the more the researched the subject. I do congratulate you and your committee for getting this project off the ground and onwards to a safe landing. It is a really high quality hardback which, on this basis alone, would grace any bookshelf. The pictures and illustrations are outstanding and it is clear that Guy Warner has gone to immense pains in his research. To his credit, he has managed to record incidents with a maximum of comment by those still alive to add flavour to the whole enterprise. The book is a tour de force and I was very honoured to meet Guy and shake his hand. I think that it is brilliantly written. All the personal accounts make for a very good read and the pictures/illustrations and quality of the paper are outstanding. Well done to you, Guy and all concerned

Gen Sir John Learmont
