The author’s maverick character of “standing up and being counted” and “calling a spade a spade” allowed him to chart the successful course of his squadron towards the comprehensive Sea Harrier air-to-air victory over the Falklands. This book demonstrates that disobeying some orders is not always a bad thing! It also reveals intense loyalty upwards and downwards within 801 Squadron that was the foundation for an extraordinary ésprit de corps.
