The Red Arrows: The Story of Britain’s Iconic Display Team

*** THE FIRST OFFICIAL HISTORY OF THE RED ARROWS ***

It's now over 50 years since the Red Arrows first took to the skies and transfixed the world with their jaw-dropping displays of daredevil precision and sky-high aerobatics.

The Red Arrows represent the very best speed, agility and precision of the Royal Air Force, and the pilots behind the planes are rigorously selected for their nerves of steel, lightning reflexes, and millisecond-perfect timing. Each one has years of distinguished service in the Royal Air Force under their belts, and plenty of stories to tell.

Written by the head of the Red Arrows, Wing Commander David Montenegro - himself a former Red 1 and Red Arrows team leader - and full of never-before-shared tales from pilots, past and present, this thrilling history celebrates the courage, daring and incredible skill of the Red Arrows and its pilots over the last 50 years.
