'Dragon, we've got reports of a mortar firing team to the west of Mosul. We need you to redeploy now . . .'
Mike Sutton commanded the RAF's top Typhoon squadron across Iraq and Syria in the war against ISIS. Flying a Eurofighter Typhoon FGR4, the most advanced multi-role combat aircraft in the world, across treacherous skies, he was dodging ground fire, anti-aircraft artillery, and surface-to-air missiles.
Split-second decisions and actions made the difference between life and death in the air - and on the ground . . .
Typhoon tells the dramatic story of an air-combat squadron in action, putting you in the cockpit, hands gripping the controls, the sounds of battle crackling in your ears.
Buckle up!
