Red Arrows in Camera - Keith Wilson

So, I have recently been handed Red Arrows in Camera by the publishers of Haynes, and to be honest, I have been pleasantly surprised!

What makes an impact with you about this book is the stunning pictures. There is an allure with the Red Arrows that makes every man turn into that 8 year old boy who is awe inspired by planes. The sheer detail is breath taking especially with the shots in flight.

However, do not think that this is simply a picture book, there is plenty of history and in depth analysis of the planes, after all this is a Haynes inspired book!

I personally love the history, it brings you closer to the planes and a feeling of respect is stored up as you carry along the book, for the jets as well as the men who man them.

Keith Wilson, aviation photographer and journalist, gets an access all areas pass to the Red Arrows as well as the pilots and ground crew.

This is a pure dad book.

I highly recommend it to men who just have not quite grown up yet, and never will!

50p goes to the RAF Charity with every book sale which is a lovely touch.
