Flying at the Edge

20 Years of Front-Line and Display Flying in the Cold War Era

By: Tony Doyle

A firsthand account of a twenty-year career as an RAF fighter pilot, instructor, aerobatic flyer, and squadron leader. Tony Doyle first flew in the CCF, where he completed a glider course and then a highly prized Flying Scholarship. This opened the way to joining the RAF and becoming an all-weather tactical fighter pilot flying de Havilland Vampires and Gloster Meteors. At this he excelled, and he was posted as a flying instructor and then Staff Instructor. This was the age when the Jet Provost was the standard training aircraft. In 1962, Doyle was selected to fly with the newly formed Red Pelicans aerobatic display team and honed his skills as a display pilot. He moved to RAF Valley as the new Folland Gnat was being introduced in the training role. This diminutive aircraft was somewhat of a breakthrough—and after several design problems were ironed out it proved a superb aircraft, fast and agile. The general public were eager to see this new RAF addition and Doyle became its display pilot, flying at open days throughout the UK and Europe. In 1964 he converted to the English Electric Lightning, Britain’s one and only supersonic fighter, with a top speed in excess of Mach 2 and a ceiling of 50,000 feet. He was posted to Treble One Squadron at Wattisham in October 1964 as part of the Quick Reaction Alert force against potential Russian bomber attacks. Once again he became the Lightning’s chosen low-level display pilot and demonstrated it at the 1965 Paris Air Show. Shortly after that, he was forced to eject over the North Cornish coast after an engine explosion caused the loss of elevator control. This fascinating account of front-line and display flying goes into considerable detail of the aerodynamic qualities, dangers, and advantages of the types flown—and recounts life-threatening incidents and successes that will educate anyone interested in flying at the very edge.

Popular Medicine in Thirteenth-century England

Introduction and Texts

By: Tony Hunt

Fills a big gap. It is concerned with recipe collections, perhaps the least studied of all medical documents, and includes - chants, charms and prayers, as well as herbal remedies for a variety of ailments.' 'Popular Medicinesucceeds in two ways: the quality of its philological scholarship confirms the growing academic respectability of an interest in medical history, and the abundance of primary material made available for the first time in print offers a way of reconciling opposing views on medieval English medicine. It forces medical historians to think hard about the diagnostic categories they use, and sanctions a pluralist approach to an equally diverse system of medicine.'TIMES LITERARY SUPPLEMENT The first study of Anglo-Norman medical prescriptions to appear in print. Six major collections, comprising over 1000 receipts, are analysed and edited. A historical introduction provides the richest and most up-to-date account of popular medicine in the period 1100-1300 yet published. Full botanical glossaries are provided. TONY HUNTis a Fellow of St Peter's College, Oxford.

Extra Lemon!

More Heroic Failures of Motoring

By: Tony Davis

The sales slogan was 'Make way for the Austin Freeway'. Car buyers did more than that. 'They gave it the widest berth possible.''You may not recall the Falcon EA. But Ford certainly does. It had to recall tens ofthousands of them.''During 27 years, the Trabant evolved from a primitive, badly built deathtrap into aprimitive, badly built deathtrap with a 12-volt electrical system.'In this laugh out-loud sequel to the bestselling LEMON!, Tony Davis inducts 65 more cars into his Motoring Hall of Shame.Read about cars like the East German Trabant, with its cotton-reinforced body; or the dafter-than-you'd-believe-possible Lightburn Zeta Sports, which the brochure bizarrely dubbed a 'super car' (the only thing it could leap in a single bound was out of gear). There's the appalling Piazza, the ridiculously hyped Tucker 48 and the explosive Ford Pinto: all shining examples of the hair-brained, the unsightly, the excruciatingly dull and the magnificently unsuccessful. EXTRA LEMON will make you wince, groan and avert your eyes - once you've stopped laughing.More heroic failures of motoring by the author of the bestselling LEMON!
