After a Foreword by Ray Hanna and a Preface by Sir Alex Henshaw there is a comprehensive introduction by Michael Turner where he chronicles his career as an artist, detailing some of the highlights along the way, such as his flights in a Lightning and with the Red Arrows. This section is liberally illustrated with pencil drawings and photos. If you have either of his other aviation art books, Royal Air Force - The aircraft in service since 1918 or Luftwaffe Aircraft - Paintings by Michael Turner then you will find some overlap in the images although there are many paintings not included in either. This book is professionally produced with well laid out and clearly printed images.
