In 1940 the defence of Great Britain rested with a handful of volunteer aircrew Churchills few. Overshadowed in later folklore by the more famous Spitfire & Hurricane pilots there were other pilots observers & air gunners
- just as courageous
- flying the Bristol Blenheim MKIV-F. The future of the country & arguably that of the free world depended also on their skill morale & sacrifice. Remarkably little has been chronicled of these men & their aircraft
- the Trade Protection squadrons formed by Hugh Dowding
- allotted to 11 Group in October 1939. The aircrafts range & endurance made it suitable for defence of coastal shipping against attack on the southern & eastern shores of Britain & for operations further afield. Indeed during bitter fighting casualties among Numbers 235 236 248 & 254 Squadron Blenheims were high on operations over Norway Holland France Dunkirk & then the Battle of Britain where the Blenheims were completely outclassed by Messerschmitt 109 & 110 fighters & fell easy victims scythed from the sky. But the record of the aircraft & their crew was an immensely proud one. Drawing on contemporary diaries periodicals letters logbooks memoirs & interviews with survivors lauded historian Andy Bird reassesses the vital role they played & repositions it in history. In doing so he justifiably embraces the heroes we have left behind.

Over the next 48 hours they load up three trucks with gold bullion & the raiders & the loot disappear forever. Two weeks earlier a young SAS Major newly arrived in The Regiment had tasked his men with scoping out just such a Beirut bank robbery
- strictly as an exercise only. But when SAS veteran Luke Kilbride presented his plan for the heist the Major tore it apart as being a useless piece of crap. Kilbride didnt appreciate this jumped-up officer telling him he was a fool. Neither did the men in his unit. Together they decided to prove the Major wrong & rob the bank anyway as a freelance operation. But whilst the heist went like clockwork that was just the start of things going badly wrong for Kilbride & his men. Eventually they are forced to hide the loot & make their getaway. Thirty years later Kilbride & his team are planning their return. The only problem is that a powerful & ruthless enemy is hell bent on finding the gold before them. Kilbride dreams up a cunning & audacious decoy mission to lead them away from the loot
- & so begins a race against time to get to the gold before the deadly Black Assassins group can catch up with them.
