Product Description

As Britain’s first jet fighter, the Gloster Meteor has had a remarkably varied & lengthy life.

But whilst many books have focused on its development & service history, the time has come to hear the personal experiences of its air & ground crews.

By interviewing over thirty veterans, author & Meteor veteran Steve Bond has written an incredibly detailed insight into this iconic aircraft, which is supported by anecdotes & accounts from those who knew it best.

One example is Alan Mc Donald who described the Meteor as ‘a bit unforgiving if you got it wrong, as many pilots found out to their cost, especially on one engine, but I must admit I got to like it very much – it was a great adrenaline rush.’ Alongside these entertaining anecdotes are details of the Meteor’s origins & developments.

Starting with the first deliveries in 1944 working through to the present day, Steve Bond documents the diverse role which the Meteor has had.
