With diplomacy having failed--and the United States and Great Britain choosing to go it alone--war against Iraq became inevitable. More than 10 years on from Operation 'Desert Storm' the tyrannical regime of Saddam Hussein was about to be subject to a final, devastating blow. 'Shock and Awe' was promised--and what was unleashed by the Coalition during Operation 'Iraqi Freedom' did not disappoint. Against an unpredictable enemy the air campaign was a pillar of modem warfare. The most potent combat aircraft on the planet, all bristling with the very latest in weapon technologies, placed in the hands of the finest pilots in the world. The outcome was inevitable...

Readers are presented with fascinating insight into RAF life in this exciting, adrenalin-fueled showcase—all of the RAFs combat and support aircraft are shown in operation, combined with captivating images of the dedicated men and women who work with these warplanes both in the air and on the ground. Superbly illustrated, this book puts you in the cockpit of a Eurofighter Typhoon; hurtling down a tight valley at 500mph at an altitude of 250ft in a Tornado GR4; landing a C-130 Hercules on a rough landing strip to resupply troops with vital resources; and operating a Chinook helicopter in the zero-visibility conditions of a dusty desert at night while being shot at. A comprehensive gallery of dynamic images demonstrate the wide range of skills required of today's RAF personnel—from exhilarating fast-jet flying and challenging logistical support, to complex state-of-the-art engineering and dangerous force protection.

Through winter and into spring the close-knit team of flying and support staff operate to a grueling schedule—flying up to four times each day. It's not just about the pilots, the Red Arrows team is a squadron of 100 dedicated people who strive to represent the best that the Royal Air Force has to offer.

Georgian Bay and its remarkable '30,000 Islands' area (there is actually closer to 100,000 islands at the last count) is the most extensive freshwater archipelago anywhere in the world. It is an iconic waterscape and ecosystem unique in North America. Yet this iconic landscape and the story it tells of the history of our planet is little known to Canadians despite its proximity to the nation's largest urban area. 
 This book brings together leading geologists, ecologists, artists and archeologists to tell the dramatic and so-far untold story of Georgian Bay from its earliest beginnings in the aftermath of a gigantic meteorite strike when the area was dominated by mountains as large as the Himalayas, to the first appearance of humans during the waning stages of the last ice age some 12,000 years ago when much of the area still lay buried under ice a kilometre thick. 
 Georgian Bay contains the largest freshwater island in the world (Manitoulin); its rocks are as old as 2.5 billion years and the varied topography of its coast and hinterlands have inspired generations of artists, geologists and naturalists and those escaping from the urban cityscapes to seek solace among the white pines that grow out of the rock. Its waterscapes are as legendary as the summer storms that spring out of nowhere investing its treacherous coast with wrecks, stories and tragedies. It is home to a diverse range of plants, fish and other animals including rare reptiles and birds, and sensitive wetlands.

In early 2006, the Fleet Air Arm's last Sea Harrier FA 2 will launch from the ski jump of an invincible class carrier and fly to RAF St. Athan, in Wales, where it will be placed in permanent storage. This event will signal the end of an era in British aviation that stretches back some 90 years, and includes such illustrious types as the Camel, Fury, Hurricane, Spitfire, Hunter and Lightning. The final all-British single-seat fighter will have been retired from frontline service. This volume serves to chronicle the fascinating career of the Sea Harrier. Built almost as an afterthought by British Aerospace to fulfill a Royal Navy requirement that was restricted by the size of its emasculated 'through deck cruiser' style Invincible class helicopter carriers, the Sea Harrier had proven its worth in combat over the Falklands within three years of entering frontline service. A Cold War warrior, and a veteran of the more recent policing actions in the Balkans, the Persian Gulf and Sierra Leone, the Sea Harrier now finds itself in the twilight of its career due to swinging budget cuts. Yet despite its advancing years, the FA 2 variant is still the most capable fighter interceptor in Britain, thanks to the partnership forged between its highly effective Blue Vixen radar and awesome US-built AMRAAM medium-range air-to-air missiles. The retirement of the Sea Harrier will once again leave the fleet without a dedicated fixed-wing fighter for the best part of a decade. The release of this volume in 2005 will coincide with the final airshow season attendance of the Sea Harrier. The 'SHAR' is a much loved airshow performer, and there will no doubt be considerable attention focused on the jet by the British public. As well as extensive archive material and images from Sea Harrier pilots through their careers, the volume will be illustrated with recent air-to-air ground material taken by Jamie Hunter during the last two years of Sea Harrier operations.

The McDonnell Douglas F-4 Phantom II remains one of the most popular and charismatic fighter aircraft in the world today. Though its long and distinguished service career is almost over, the type remains operational in modest numbers and in various roles at air forces around the world. This book takes the reader to the last operational locations of the F-4 for a look at its current activities. With a particular emphasis on recent air-to-air images of the remaining operational Phantoms shot by the joint authors, Katsuhiko Tokunaga and Jamie Hunter, the book also includes interviews with and information about the pilots and those still associated with the popular type. It will take the reader behind the scenes of the last Phantom squadrons and into their ops rooms. It is now almost exactly 50 years since the first F-4 Phantom flew. With the type now entering the twilight of its career in active service, interest in an already highly regarded aircraft has grown significantly.
