United Kingdom: Grub Street the Basement, 1999. New book, 207 pages. On 12 August 1940, during the Battle of Britain, Geoffrey Page was shot down, suffering severe burns.

This eloquently written and critically acclaimed autobiography tells of his wartime exploits in the air and on the ground. He was a founding member of the Guinea Pig Club - formed by badly burnt aircrew - and this is a fascinating account of the Club, of the courage and bravery of 'The Few', and of Geoffrey's later life and achievements, most particularly in the creation of the Battle of Britain memorial..

Weidenfeld & Nicolson, 2007. New book, 269 pages. Embedded in the upper echelons of society in England and Ireland at the turn of the 19th Century, the Pakenham family, Earls of Longford, kept extensive records of the minutiae of their day-to-day lives in Pakenham Hall, their home in Ireland. As generals and admirals they fought and died in battles far from home and as politicians they participated in the political battles of the day. The voices and personalities which emerge from this unique archive give us an intimate account of a family set against the backdrop of Napoleon's rise and fall. Women write to each other about family gossip and national affairs, about Kitty Packenham's brother scorning the young Wellington's proposal (they eventually married), and later about his infidelities. Ever constant in their letters are their hopes and fears for their husbands and brothers and sons. Around them swirl the noises of war, in the conflicts of the French Invasion of 1798, the bloody… Read More

Histoire & Collection, 2009. New book, 98 pages. The MiG-21 originated with an official request from the Soviet authorities in 1954 for a light, high-performance (Mach 2 at 20,000m) frontline fighter to protect military and production installations from potential raids by American bombers. Built for almost half a century in twenty or so different versions, in four successive generations, the Fishbed (its NATO codename) was not only the jet which was built in the largest numbers in the whole of aviation history, but also the aircraft which was built in the greatest numbers since the end of the Second World War, all types and all countries included.
