Jumbo
"Brought to you by Penguin.
In the 1960s, beset by crippling financial challenges and ceding the supersonic race to the European Concorde, US aviation was flailing. Until, in a modest corner of Boeing’s factory, engineer Joe Sutter dared to think big. The aircraft he developed – the 747 “Jumbo” Jet – was about to have an immeasurable impact on air travel as we know it.
Over its fifty-four-year history the 747 has weathered storms and hijackings, seen disaster and saved lives. Its use democratised air travel for the masses, carrying everything and everyone from space shuttles to presidents, to enough passengers across its lifetime to equal half the world’s population.
Scott Bateman, pilot and author has flown the 747 for over twelve years. Here he weaves reportage, history and personal accounts into an utterly unforgettable story.

Hercules
"Brought to you by Penguin.
THE SUNDAY TIMES TOP 10 BESTSELLER
Read the legendary story of the Lockheed C-130 Hercules aircraft, seen through the eyes of former RAF captain Scott Bateman
Take wing with an unsung hero . . .
Hercules is the hero of the skies we never talk about. First to land in any combat zone and last out, the Hercules always unflashily gets the job done – whether that’s a risky air drop or hauling out troops in an emergency evac.
Also working as an aerial tanker, gunship, spyplane, air-sea rescuer and even a precision bomber, its versatility has time and again seen the Hercules give the RAF their edge – from Antarctica to Iraq, Afghanistan to the Falklands.
Captain Scott Bateman drags us into the cockpit and buckles us in for an extraordinary pilot’s seat view of this aircraft’s 50-year history.
Anytime. Anywhere. Anyhow.
