Product Description
Product Description
RAF Flight lieutenants John Peters and John Nichol were shot down over enemy territory on their first airbourne mission of the Gulf War. Their capture in the desert, half a mile from their blazing Tornado bomber, began a nightmare seven-week ordeal of torture and interrogation which brought both men close to death.
In Tornado Down, John Peters and John Nichol tell the incredible story of their part in the war against Saddam Hussien's regime. It is a brave and shocking and totally honest story: a story about war and its effects on the hearts and minds of men.

Format:Paperback
This book is a real insight into the RAF and the run up of the Golf War. Neither men portray themselves as `heroes' nor do they pretend to make up a story to give the impression they were some kind of James Bond.
They tell a terrifying story of being shot down and captured. Both explain their expectation of being killed and the joys of being released. Sorry to use to the pun, but this book is difficult to put down once started and I would recommend it to all. Trilling, terrifying and insightful, this book is one of the best I have read!

This book is must to read. The accounts are graphic and bring to life the reality of war and what happens behind enemy lines that none of us will ever know or face. Both John Nichol and John Peters tell you there sides of the capture. The only way to undestand this bok is to read it.

This has got to be the best ever book i've read, couldn't put it down for a second I always wanted to know what happens next. I would recommend this book to anyone, it show just how evil the iraqi soldier can be & how brave John Peters, John Nichol & the other POW are.

When the Tornados are down...
One of the most unusual stories from the Gulf war, because the men who went to drop the bombs get to be on the recieving end of other men who come to drop bombs on them. Read more
