Out of the Blue Too - More scary and often funny tales from the Royal Air Force and Friends.
Foreword by Air Marshal Cliff Spink CB CBE FCMI FRAeS RAF Ret’d.
When Ian Cowie, Dim Jones and Chris Long set out to produce a compendium of stories of flying in the Royal Air force – Out of the Blue – I doubt they could have anticipated what a successful venture it would be and one that has raised many thousands of pounds for service charities. Well, quite simply, they have done it again.
Volume 2 contains another heady mixture of true stories that range from the amazing to the downright scary – all told with a sense of humour that was, and is, the hallmark of that band of people who have had the privilege to fly in the military arena. When I meet friends who shared the same thrills – and spills – of flying high performance aircraft close to the limits in order to get the job done, I think there is common theme to our nostalgia. And that is the “banter” – that irrepressible no holds barred, adrenaline fuelled, exchange between comrades in arms where there is no hiding from even the minor transgression. It is something we all miss but sometimes relive when reunions gather together somewhat greyer and more portly individuals than we were in days of yore.
You can now share in these stories in this book which will I am sure give you a fascinating and most amusing insight into flying life in the Royal Air Force. I commend this book to you and please remember that the proceeds go to the charities that support service men and women, and their families, who have given so much for their country.

Like the first part, two/too is a collection of hilarious flying related stories. I cannot recommend the book (books) to complete layman in flying, but a pilot's licence is not needed (I do not have one). Maybe some of these real life stories were in news when they were fresh, but I must say they were new to me. There are stories which are more or less "insider" things - but not very many. Some stories even if they are funny in a way are also quite scary - it is quite a miracle that the teller/writer lived to tell his story!Product details

Out of the Blue Too More scary and often funny tales from the Royal Air Force and Friends eBook Ian Cowie Dim Jones Chris Long Cliff Spink Reviews
This is a must read! A wonderful collection of how things may not always go as planned and how lucky you sometimes are be it war or peace
I loved every short story, reliving the very personal and often exciting moments in the cockpits of that era. A must read for any flying buff of that age.
Very dry reading. Definitely not up to the standard of the original work.
Very scary...especially when I had to fly to do my job around the country. What can go wrong WILL go wrong
This is a compelling account of a vo
Complex career flying an astonishing range of aircraft. Great read! Great writing.
There are some good stories in this compilation, but even the best of them aren't really up to those in the first "Out of the Blue" collection.
Some of the stories in "Out of the Blue Too" go on a bit too long and really could have done with a bit tighter editing to keep them on the point. Some of them were barely what I would call flying stories at all.
It's OK, but not really close to the first one in excitement or being solidly stories with flying at the heart of them.
TOO is another excellent read. I love the BRIT’S sense of understatement, especially in the soup, no radio with one engine is out, no fuel and there are only two greens in the gear window approaching HMS Hermes in heavy south Atlantic seas. No one could make up these stories. They are stunning. Really entertaining flying in the RAF & RNAF. What a hoot and these aviators lived to tell the tale...
