Description
‘Catapults you into the heart of the most epic experiences of ejection, escape and survival’
Andy McNab
Since the invention of the ejection seat in the 1940s, tens of thousands of lives have been saved—including John Nichol's. Now, Nichol tells the incredible story of the ejection seat in war and in peace—and of the men and women who were given a second chance at life after facing disaster.
Escaping is just the first step to making it home alive, so we hear of thrilling rescues from enemy territory, of capture in North Vietnam, of surviving high-speed mid-air collisions, and how ejection can lead to extraordinary tales of discovery and redemption.
Packed with gripping action and cutting-edge science, Eject! Eject! is fuelled by dramatic, deeply moving and previously unheard first-hand accounts.
Because pulling the yellow-and-black ejection handle is just the start of the story.

About the Author
John Nichol served in the Royal Air Force for fifteen years. On active duty during the first Gulf War in 1991, his Tornado bomber was shot down during a mission over Iraq. Captured, tortured and held as a prisoner of war, John was paraded on television, provoking worldwide condemnation and leaving one of the most enduring images of the conflict. John is the bestselling co-author of Tornado Down and author of many highly acclaimed Second World War epics including Spitfire and Lancaster, both of which were Sunday Times bestsellers. He has made a number of TV documentaries with Second World War veterans, written for national newspapers and magazines, and is a widely quoted commentator on military affairs.
