Steve Bond’s Meteor Boys uses interviews with more than 40 veterans to explore the Gloster Meteor through the people who flew, maintained and supported it.
The book follows the aircraft from its first operational deliveries in 1944, including operations against the V1 flying bomb, through its major RAF service period during the 1950s and early 1960s.
Contributors describe the realities of early jet flying alongside the Meteor’s use for photo reconnaissance, training and later display flying.
The 208-page paperback combines personal recollections with the development and service history of an aircraft that marked the RAF’s transition into the jet age.
