Martin Bowman is the author of sixty aviation books on military subjects.

His interest in World War II was fired by the proliferation of US and RAF air bases in his native East Anglia.

His quest has taken him to eighteen countries including the USA, Africa, Australia and Russia. He has flown into the world's war zones of Mogadishu, Somalia and Bosnia...and he has even been catapulted from the USS John F Kennedy!

Martin has also been appointed as official researcher for DERA.
