About the individual books

Eject! Eject! — Follow the remarkable evolution of escape systems from the first British pilot to use an ejection seat to the high-tech mechanisms that save lives today. The book opens with Jo Lancaster’s 1949 emergency ejection and traces technological advances that made modern ejection seats increasingly reliable. The human side of survival—fear, training, split-second decisions—is at the heart of this title.

Tornado — A firsthand account tied to the 1991 Gulf War, Tornado recounts the harrowing moment when John Nichol’s aircraft was blasted out of the sky and the decisive 2.5 seconds between pulling the ejection handle and parachute deployment. This book combines personal memoir with broader military context, making it a standout in any children’s series shelf or adult nonfiction collection.

Lancaster — Offering a deep dive into the bomber that Sir Arthur Harris called his "shining sword," Lancaster covers RAF bomber squadrons’ role throughout the Second World War. Rich with operational detail and human stories, the paperback edition illuminates why the Lancaster remains central to air warfare history.

Spitfire — Set against the dramatic backdrop of 1940 Britain, Spitfire examines the pivotal air battles that stopped Nazi domination of Western Europe. Readers will appreciate the tactical narrative and the profiles of pilots whose courage shaped the outcome of the Battle of Britain.
