The award-winning work of John Dibbs is unparalleled in the field of aviation photography. Best known for his stunning air-to-air images of restored World War II -- era warbirds, he now turns his attention to the modern air force of his homeland. This new collection captures in striking detail the remarkable world of modern Royal Air Force aviators piloting the gamut of aircraft that the RAF has at its disposal. Included are images of such fighters and attack aircraft as the Panavia Tornado, BAe Harrier, and Sepecat Jaguar, as well as transporters and specialized aircraft like trainers, photo-recon platforms, and helicopters. All of the aircraft are photographed in action -- dropping bombs, performing acrobatics, carrying out search-and-rescues, and refueling. And because the images were taken around the globe, all of the photographs frame these spectacular modern military aircraft against breathtaking backgrounds, from the moors of Great Britain to the frozen Arctic tundra. Also includes the histories and modern roles of each aircraft.
