David Montenegro | The Red Arrows
The Red Arrows by Wing Commander David Montenegro is the official story of Britain's world-famous Royal Air Force Aerobatic Team, written by a man who knows the experience from inside the cockpit. A former Red 1 Team Leader and Officer Commanding of the Red Arrows, Montenegro reveals the extraordinary skill, discipline, mental resilience and teamwork required to earn one of the iconic red flying suits.
Drawing on previously untold stories from Red Arrows pilots past and present, the book explores both the history of the team and the demanding reality behind its spectacular displays. From rigorous training and high-speed formation flying to the intense trust required between pilots operating only metres apart, Montenegro captures the exhilaration, risk and precision at the heart of the Red Arrows. An absorbing insider account of elite aviation, The Red Arrows is an excellent choice for readers fascinated by aircraft, the RAF, military history and the remarkable people behind one of Britain's most celebrated flying teams.
