DEADLY PENINSULA
Military aircraft accidents on and around Kintyre 1940-1994
David W. Earl & Peter Dobson
ISBN: 978-0-9523928-9-7.
Since the beginning of the Second World War the 30 mile stretch of the Kintyre Peninsula, lying between the islands of Arran and Islay on the west coast of Scotland, has been a thorn in the side of aviators the world over. In fine weather, for land dwellers at least, it has some stunning scenery, great lochs and fine walks, but in poor weather, to a pilot it is deadly and the whole place becomes a magnet for low flying aircraft.
Published in similar format to the `Lost to the Isles` series, you will find accounts on over 50 military aircraft that have come to grief over a period of 54 years, complemented with biographies of the airmen involved and a vast collection of photographs, many never published before.
Published in paperback. 348 pages and illustrated with B/W photographs and aircraft profiles throughout.
Available from Amazon, Ebay and selected bookshops.
