In the second part of the latest in Grub Street Publishing's Boys series, author Steve Bond returns to the Shackleton, covering its overseas operations. From the early 1950s, RAF squadrons based from Gibraltar to Singapore maintained a different type of service to their home-based brethren. They were in the thick of the action through to the 1960s, such as bombing in support of ground forces in the Oman and Aden protectorates. More traditional maritime patrols were flown during the Suez campaign and Indonesian Confrontation, as well as the Beira Patrol. With the South African Air Force flying 'Shacks' from Cape Town, this well written and illustrated book truly spans the globe. The reader can almost smell the type's unique mix of leather, fuel and sweat as the pages turn, making it a worthy addition to this excellent series. It should delight ex-Shack hands and general readers alike.
