| It's the moment a pilot dreads most - when he first discovers that he's |
| lost his nerve. |
| |
| Hands that have always been rock-steady now tremble as they touch the |
| joystick. His mouth is dry with fear, a cold sweat breaks out on his brow. |
| |
| Flight Lieutenant Ted Ridge knew all the signs. But only he knew he |
| wasn't fit to fly his Mosquito bomber on any more raids. |
| |
| And then the RAF picked him for a specially dangerous flying job - a |
| job that no one else could tackle. Ted Ridge just couldn't convince |
| them that he wasn't still the best Mossie pilot they had. |
| |
| Introduction |
| |
| In today's enlightened times, post-traumatic stress disorder more |
| accurately describes the phenomenon of service personnel being |
| overwhelmed by the demands of active service in a war zone. In 1964, |
| losing their nerve was the term used. Though this Kenner script deals |
| with that situation but in a typically Commando way, it's not hard to |
| read a deeper meaning into this story with echoes of the famous Amiens |
| prison raid - Operation Jericho. |
| |
| That's if you don't get completely distracted by Ken Barr's movie |
| poster-style cover and Gordon Livingstone's gritty, angular inside art. |
| |
| Read it twice...just to make sure. |
