Caught between the revolutionaries & the forces of international intrigue is a team of professional pilots. They are ordered to flee to safety with their helicopters. Two of them both Europeans have Iranian wives whom they love beyond safety & politics." ...

Faster & better armed than the Spitfire the Whirlwind was the RAF's counter to a new generation of armoured German bombers which it expected to meet in English skies in 1940. A few months after its first flight 1 000 Whirlwinds were ordered but nine months later the RAF cancelled the entire programme. Just 114 were built but they went on to have a distinguished three-year career from the uneasy months after the Battle of Britain to their final sorties against Hitler's V-weapons sites in France. Based on fresh research this new & overdue study throws new light on why the RAF had such high hopes for the Whirlwind but was still prepared to cancel it its designer's efforts to save the programme & above all the aircraft's operational record. Attacking railways shipping torpedo boats & airfields often against fierce opposition the Whirlwind squadrons flew with determination & style & saw themselves as a privileged elite within Fighter Command
