Airshow
A Year in the Life of the World's Largest Military Airshow
Hurley, Graham
The Royal International Air Tattoo has become a legend amongst airshows.
In twenty-five years, it has grown from a cheerful day out on an old wartime airstrip to a must-attend entry on the international aviation calendar; not simply for the enthusiasts but also for the top names from the global aerospace industry.
The world's sexiest airplanes. The world's hottest pilots. Seven aerobatic teams. Eight hours flying. Nearly five hundred participating aircraft. And a static display line that stretches for more than two miles.
How do they do it?
Graham Hurley is a film-maker and thriller writer. With a novelist's eye, unique access, and a passion for aircraft, he has produced an extraordinarily intimate account of the making and shaping of this, the world's biggest military airshow.
For a year, he worked alongside the men and women charged with turning the impossible into an unforgettable weckend. His account of their trials and their triumphs, climaxing in the event itself, is a deeply personal view of exceptional people under exceptional pressures.
