TrachtaTyphoon Attack describes the development and history of the Hawker Typhoon and the men who flew her. The author does a very good job telling us about the development of the Typhoon and the teething problems the pilots experienced. This is followed by the early employment of the aircraft and veterans stories of their experiences with the plane thru the different campaigns of WWII. The writer does a very good job of using his descriptions of historical events to bring up the memories of pilots. Overall; a good read for those interested in Hawker Typhoons and the often forgotten world of Interdiction.1 of 1 people found the following review helpful. Typhoon attackBy glenn e.the book was a compilation of pilot/engineer stories about the aircraft. It was put together very well.I liked it because the Typhoon did so well for the British/Canadian armies in clearing panzers/artillery/train transports in front of them. But it did not get the famous name that the Spitfire/Hurricane and Mustang received.The aircraft had problems in development but so did most of the others0 of 0 people found the following review helpful. Excellent treatment of plane and pilotsBy CustomerGood combat history especially of the pilots who flew the "Tiffy" and of the squadrons involved. Not so much detail about actual operations or descriptions of air and ground combat. Could have done with more combat photographs.
