This is the story of Flight Lieutenants John Peters and John Nichol of the RAF, whose Tornado was shot down over Iraq during the Gulf War. The book charts their progress through their initial training, to the first glimmerings of impending torture by their Iraqi interrogators. It also recounts the emotion of their release and their return to their families, and the difficulties of coping with national fame.
