This highly illustrated book is a photographic
appreciation of the Lightnings’ service in the
RAF, including all the squadrons which
operated this stunning aircraft. Mainly from the
camera of one dedicated Lightning enthusiast
and accomplished photographer. With the
exception of a few illustrations included to set
Fred Martins unique pictures in context, none
of these photographs have been published in
book form before.
We have deliberately chosen a fairly large format for this publication to allow us to do full justice to the high quality photographs and to enable the reader to study in detail many of the aircrafts various features and paint schemes. Accurate illustrations of the squadron badges have also been included along with the badges of the training and target facilities flights. The introductions and captions to each squadron are a detailed account of its history whilst operating the Lightning. |
‘Lightning Force’ sums up the shear
exhilaration of the power, speed and noise that
is the Lightning. Even today some seventeen
years after the type was retired from frontline
RAF service it still engenders great affection
with aviation enthusiasts around the world. We
are sure that all of those who admire the
Lightning will enjoy studying these remarkable
pictures and take themselves back to a time
when they can remember seeing and hearing
this type in the air. For those too young to
recall this great aircraft these pages will
provide superb visual reference and inspiration. The Author Fred Martin has been photographing military aviation since the age of twelve. A lifelong devotee of the Lightning and all aspects of military aviation, he is well qualified to write an authoritive text on this charismatic aircraft. |
