Publisher's Synopsis

Discover the brave, shocking and remarkable true story of two RAF lieutenants' capture during the Gulf War

'HEROISM UNDER A BLOOD RED SKY' Independent
'THE MOST COMPELLING STORY OF THE GULF WAR' Daily Mail
_________

RAF Flight Lieutenants John Peters and John Nichol were shot down over enemy territory on their first mission of the Gulf War.

Their capture in the desert, half a mile from their blazing Tornado bomber, led to seven harrowing weeks of torture, confinement and interrogation.

An ordeal which brought both men close to death.

In Tornado Down, John Peters and John Nichol tell the incredible story of their part in the war against Saddam Hussein's regime.

It is a brave and shocking and totally honest story: a story about war and its effects on the hearts and minds of men.
