Hunters Over Arabia

Hawker Hunter Operations in the Middle East

Ray Deacon,

About this book

"P rovides an incredible insight into not only the majestic and beautifully lined Hunter, but also to RAF operations in insurgent wars." — Flight Line Book Review

Based on official records held at the National Archives and other published sources, Hunters over Arabia presents an in-depth account of the operations performed by the Hawker Hunter squadrons policing the desert wastelands and high mountain ranges of the Middle East. Copiously illustrated with color and black and white photographs, a high percentage of operations performed by this versatile British ground attack and reconnaissance fighter are described in detail.

Using a chronological format, the narrative focuses on the period during which the Hunter served in the Middle East, from 1960 to 1971. Further chapters are dedicated to the three Hunter variants most closely associated with the Middle East, the FGA.9, FR.10 and T.7, together with their respective allocation dates. A short background to Aden, its historical links to Britain, and RAF airfields administered by Middle East Command complete this factual account.

"Will be referenced for years to come as the authoritative source of operations across the troubled Middle East at the end of British influence." — Aircrew Book Review

"Fantastic color and black and white images and beautifully written with great use of National Archive documentation. This book will thrill and inform all enthusiasts of the Hawker Hunter." —Vintage Airfix
