JET Art Gallery’s military aviation reading collection brings together books covering aircraft, aircrew, operations and the development of military flying. The range includes pilot memoirs, biographies and aviation histories spanning the Second World War, Cold War and more recent RAF service.
These books provide additional context to the aircraft and events represented throughout the gallery, from the Spitfire and early jet age to the Phantom, Tornado and Typhoon. First-hand accounts and researched histories offer a closer look at the people, squadrons and operational experiences behind military aviation.
