''I eased the jet''s nose down and rested my index finger on the trigger. Three seconds to go. Almost 500 knots. The whole airframe pulsed as I started to fire . . .''
Mike Sutton led the RAF''s premier Typhoon squadron into battle against a brutal enemy. Flying the world''s most advanced multi-role combat jet, every mission across the treacherous skies above Syria and Iraq saw him and his team tested to the limit. The threat of being shot down was a fact of life. Every split-second decision meant the difference between life and death.
Typhoon brings to life the exhilarating and exacting world of a fighter squadron at war like never before.
Strap in, light the burners, and hold on tight . . .
