Dive into the exhilarating world of air combat with 'Typhoon', the first-hand narrative from Wing Commander Mike Sutton, who commands the RAF's most advanced multi-role combat aircraft, the Eurofighter Typhoon FGR4, in missions against ISIS. This gripping account unpacks the strategies and heart-pounding moments that define the Typhoon’s operational prowess, combining speed, agility, and precision in a way that has redefined aerial warfare.
The Eurofighter Typhoon is not just a fighter jet; it's a technological marvel, capable of reaching nearly twice the speed of sound and soaring over ten miles high with unmatched efficiency. One Eurofighter can execute precision bombing operations that would take an entire squadron of classic bombers to achieve. This makes the Typhoon essential in modern combat scenarios, where every second counts and the stakes are undeniably high.
As Sutton shares his journey leading 1 (Fighter) Squadron into perilous skies filled with enemy threats, readers will experience the intensity of operations over Syria and Iraq. The gripping narrative dives deep into the realities of aerial combat, where teamwork and tactical brilliance hold the key to averting catastrophe. Typhoon is more than a war story; it is a tribute to bravery and the relentless pursuit of peace.

Description:
Strap in and hold on tight for the first ever first-hand account of the RAF's world-beating Typhoon jet in combat, from the Wing Commander who led them into the war against ISIS.
The Eurofighter Typhoon FGR4 is the most advanced multi-role combat aircraft in the world. Capable of flying at nearly twice the speed of sound and powering to a height of over ten miles in less time than it takes to boil a kettle, a single Typhoon can also deliver a heavy bombload with such lethal precision that a whole squadron of Lancasters could not have guaranteed the same result.
Taking command of the RAF's premier Typhoon squadron represented the pinnacle of Mike Sutton's career as fighter pilot. Until the day he was told he would be leading 1 (Fighter) Squadron into battle against a bloody and brutal enemy hellbent on establishing a permanent stronghold across Syria and Iraq and spreading terror across the free world.
Their mission was to help stop them in their tracks.
In proving the Typhoon in combat, they would be flying in some of the world's most treacherous skies, where ground fire, anti-aircraft artillery and the latest surface-to-air missiles posed a constant danger. The threat of getting shot down behind enemy lines was a fact of life.
Typhoon is the first inside account of the RAF's long war against ISIS; a campaign in which any mistake could have devastating consequences. The loss of innocent lives resulting from their fight against the enemy was simply not an option. 1 Squadron fought with distinction over the trenches of the First World War, in the Battle of Britain and duri
