Paul Tremelling | Harrier
Harrier: How to Be a Fighter Pilot by Paul Tremelling is a gripping, first-hand account of life in the unforgiving world of fast-jet combat. Drawing on nearly twenty years of experience, Tremelling puts the reader directly in the cockpit, where pressure is relentless, decisions must be made in seconds and a single mistake can have fatal consequences. From night landings on pitching aircraft-carrier decks to intense combat operations in Afghanistan, his memoir captures the extraordinary skill, discipline and adrenaline required of a fighter pilot.
Tremelling flew the Sea Harrier with 800, 801 and 899 Naval Air Squadrons before transitioning to the Harrier GR9 and becoming Senior Pilot with the Naval Strike Wing. He later flew the F/A-18E Super Hornet with the US Navy's VFA-25 during an exchange posting and served operationally in Afghanistan and off Libya. Combining exhilarating aviation stories with sharp observation and acerbic humour, Harrier offers a rare insight into the demanding professional culture, camaraderie and realities of modern military flying.
