Many flying mysteries of the past have since been explained by the advance of technology but many remain, particularly those connected with time coincidence and precognition of events. None of the aircraft disasters in this book has ever been fully explained but the author from his own experience and new research can now explain what may have happened. Investigations include the crash of the R101 on her voyage to India, Charles Kingsford-Smith's disappearance in 1935 and how did the pilots of the Fairey Postal Monoplane in 1929 know they were going to die.

The Royal Air Force is synonymous with its heroic achievements in the summer of 1940, when the Hurricane and Spitfire pilots of RAF Fighter Command held Goering's Luftwaffe at bay in the Battle of Britain. Within the 20th century military aviation has morphed from the exotic to the mundane. An activity which was charged with danger is now carried out by computers and pilotless drones. Aviators stories gripped the public, and in both wars air aces dominated each side's propaganda, capturing hearts and dreams. A compelling account of military flying from its heroic early days to the present.
