A definitive history of the basic and counter-insurgent aircraft at home and overseas.
This book covers the complete and long overdue history of the Hunting/BAC Jet Provost and Strikemaster, which for thirty-eight years trained generations of pilots and pioneered the RAF’s all-through flying training programme.



Here, David Watkins has produced an extensive look at these aircraft after years of painstaking research assisted by veterans and historians. Having accessed the archives of the Warton Collection, he has amassed a range of rare photography to accompany the extraordinary history of these jets.



From Jet Provost to Strikemaster is a work of narrative and technical detail which will satisfy the most avid aviation fans.

David Watkins joined the RAF when he was 19 and saw service in the UK, Germany and the Far East. He has written books on the de Havilland Vampire and Venom, No. 501 (County of Gloucester) Squadron, RAuxAF, RAF Chivenor and RAF Aerobatic Teams since 1920.
