"Gulf War heroes John Peters and John Nichol wrote about their ordeal as Iraqi prisoners of war in the bestselling book 'Tornado Down'. The success of 'Tornado Down' generated a great amount of interest in themselves and their lives, and so they have written TEAM TORNADO.
TEAM TORNADO tells the story of what made John Peters and John Nichol become airmen, how their lives have been affected by the Gulf War, and what it is like being in the Royal Air Force, flying immensely complex, multi-million pound aircraft, training constantly for war. John Peters still flies Tornado bombers, while John Nichol has retrained and now flies in Tornado fighters. In the skies, rehearsing for combat, the two stalk each other in chillingly realistic and potentially lethal simulated combat.
Life in the RAF has changed dramatically in the last few years, following the end of the Cold War. Now faced with a variety of smaller conflicts rather than a single defined enemy, John Peters and John Nichol have had to adapt to new strategies, to new tactical skills and to new dangers. John Peters faced the prospect of a return to the Gulf to carry out further bombing raids, while John Nichol's squadron was the first to be deployed to mount air defence patrols over Bosnia.
For anyone who wants to understand what it is like to be in the armed services during these troubled times, to fly Tornado aircraft to their powerful limits on multinational exercises, and to find out what happens to John Peters and John Nichol in the year following their return from the Gulf, TEAM TORNADO is a must."
