Flying Freestyle by J Pook
Flying Freestyle: An RAF Fast Jet Pilot’s Story
by Jerry Pook
This is a book for real flying enthusiasts. Jerry Pook has that ability as a writer to describe his remarkable flying experiences in a dramatic way that puts you in the cockpit with him during his many varied missions. Air Vice-Marshall Ron Elder calls Pook in his Foreword “one of life’s natural rebels.” Clearly a natural and very able pilot, he had made it quite clear that, although a Royal Air Force College graduate with a real chance of reaching the senior ranks, his only desire was to fly. As a result he was able to fly continuously for more than a quarter of a century with no interruption of a ground tour, an extraordinary achievement, particularly for a Cranwell graduate who was expected to fly his share of desks.
But his excellent flying ability was his undoing, being selected for instructor training upon completion of his training instead of getting to strap on one of his dream aeroplanes, the Hunter.
