The elegant Sunderland was the RAF's staple maritime patrol aircraft throughout World War II (1939-1945). Crucial in the Battle of the Atlantic, the Sunderland was instrumental in defeating the U-Boat menace which threatened to starve the UK into submission. Nicknamed the Flying Porcupine due to its heavy armoury of 14 guns, the Sunderland proved an immediate success in battle. Aside from its worldwide use with the RAF, it saw action with the RAAF, RNZAF and RCAF. This is the first book devoted to the Sunderland's WW2 service to be published in over a decade.

Hi, thanks for looking at my author page. I've been writing about aviation, aerospace and defence since 1979, and full time since 1984. I was born into an RAF family, learned to glide before I could drive a car, and learned to fly powered aircraft with the University of London Air Squadron while reading history at Royal Holloway College. A minor medical issue ended my hopes of flying fast jets in the RAF, and I went into publishing. I edited a succession of 'part work' magazines (War Machine, Warplane and Take Off) and then the quarterly World Air Power Journal. I went freelance in 1995, and have written for most of the aviation magazines, while also serving as defence editor on Flight Daily News, Arabian Aerospace, African Aerospace and ADS Advance. I was lucky enough to win two Aerospace Journalist of the Year Awards, and a Defence Media Award. I hope that something that I've written brings you some enjoyment - blue skies and happy landings to all!
