Beginning in 1917 with Lord Balfour's miraculous safe landing after an extraordinary ejection from his crushed bi-plane'Out of the Blue' is a breathtaking assembly of stories - some horrificsome humorous some frankly incredible - told with extraordinary freshness and vividness by some of the legendary names and unknown heroes of three wars.Air Marshal Sir Edward Chilton reconstructs in riveting detail the epic 'Channel dash' by three German battlecruisers in broad daylight through the Straits of Dover in 1942.Group Captain Leonard Trent VC tells how the luck of the draw saved his life in the Great Escape from Stalag Luft III in 1944.Japanese fighter pilot Yutaka Yokotawho volunteered as a 'human torpedo' in the Pacific warrecalls how mechanical trouble prevented him from making the supreme sacrifice for his Emperor. Meanwhilea United States Air Force officer Col. Kenneth W. Cordiertells how he received a direct hit from a Soviet ground-to-air missile in the Vietnam War - and survived. The volume has its share of bizarre and amusing moments too.Here are shamefaced confessions of 'own goals' by off-course bomber pilots the intriguing tale of an Australian air gunner's clairvoyant mongrel Smudgeand the account by a great USAF fighter leader of the last war of how his ability to blow impressive smoke rings from a cigar may have saved his life. 'Out of the Blue' is a marvellous entertainmenta book of real-life adventure stories more thrilling than any to b found in fictionand a fine tribute to the courage and humour of all those who faced the challenge of the air in time of war.'For usthe air was always the master of our fate' says Laddie Lucaswho contributes his own personal stories of remarkable escape.'Take liberties with itpush your luck with it too farand your chances of survival were slim.The firmament wouldin the end always prevail.'
