This book is not about the 'tech-stuff' of the Typhoon. But more like an operational history of it. Told by the men who flew it from the D-Day preparations to VE-Day. And despite the teething problems of it, they liked the Typhoon/Bomphoon/Rockphoon. A big and stable weapons platform. Rugged and solid.
What always strikes me, when reading many of the accounts of WWII servicemen, is the low-key matter-of-factly tone they are kept in.
Bottom line is that I like the book ( )
