My old friend Chris Cartledge has died, aged 100. Chris was one of the last of The Kamikaze Hunters — the British fighter pilots who saw action in the Pacific and over Japan in 1945 as the Second World War reached its climax. 1/4

Enjoy Masters of the Air folks. Always thought the Fortress looked pretty dashing sporting Coastal Command duds too ...

Really thrilled to bits with this generous review of MOSQUITO in the new FlyPastMag 🙏 (in an issue with a Swordfish on the front too!) If only there were somewhere, if it convinces you to take a punt, you could buy it for less than half price ... oh ... amazon.co.uk/gp/aw/d/178763…

Excited to share the news that MOSQUITO is about to become a whole lot easier to pick up. The paperback is published on Thursday! It will be, as they say, available in all good bookshops. Or you can pre-order and have it posted through your letter box on publication day ...

For any of you - like me - who prefer a paperback, today's the day! MOSQUITO is now officially a Penguin Books UK paperback!

A bit obsessed with this photo. 0727 hrs, 1/4/45. An 887 NAS Seafire from HMS Indefatigable desperately tries to bring its guns to bear on a Zeke Kamikaze. The same Seafire pilot had already shot down 2 during this attack, but this one got thru to crash into the carrier's island

When I first discovered this book in a secondhand bookshop I thought I'd died and gone to heaven. A whole thriller about Vulcan bombers! *That's* what I'm talking about. And now it's been reissued by those clever people at Silvertail Books

God, it was good to see this at ⁦Shuttleworth⁩ at the weekend. Legendary. Love it.

I know, it seems almost inconceivable after the weeks, months and years of slaving away, but the ebook of MOSQUITO is on special offer this month as part of a Kindle deal for just ... 99p!!!! So, if you'd been holding off because paying the price of a🍻was too much💰jump now!

So, it's my birthday today, but instead of marking the occasion by selling MOSQUITO for, like, one million pounds as a special birthday treat 🎂🍾 it's actually still just 99p on Kindle ... and it will be for the rest of June too. Worst present *ever* ...

Enjoying a wonderful warbird display at the Sywell air show!

Absolutely spectacular show at Sywell. Huge credit - and thanks - to all involved.

The Sywell flightline today ...

Flypast just now to commemorate the 80th anniversary of Operation DRAGOON, the Allied landings in the south of France. Hold my rosé ...

Dammit. A Blenheim just flew over the house and I *nearly* grabbed a spectacular photo of it ... 🤣

This is special. We lost John earlier this year. But not before he shared the story of his remarkable war. From Tobruk to Arnhem. Twice captured. Twice escaped from PoW camps to fight on. He was the last surviving veteran of the fight for the bridge. Damien Lewis Tom Petch

Really very chuffed to see MOSQUITO get picked for Waterstones paperbacks of the year selection which goes live next week. Thank you to the fab team at my publisher Transworld Books and everyone whose supported it by reading it!🙏🙏

I've been looking forward to this dropping thru the letterbox. And it's immediately clear that ⁦Dan Sharp⁩ has produced an astonishing piece of work. The answer to all my Dan Dare dreams! An early contender for aviation book of the year? It'll take some beating ...

Absolutely LOVED this - really, really funny - laugh out loud so - but touching and charming too and a fantastic evocation of those heady days of the late 1980s. Catnip for a closet rocker like me too. Read it, folks - a total joy from start to finish. Rikki Thunder!!
