RAF Coltishall, Fighter Station Testimonials
Full reviews will be available through the Coltishall Blog.

“It is a fine publication, as close to an absolute history as anyone could feasibly hope to achieve”
“This is no mere coffee table book. While photographs are well used in this beautifully designed study, it is the text which dominates.”
Ed Foss, Eastern Daily Press, November 2007

“A comprehensive history of the finest station in the Royal Air Force and who I believe to be the finest authority on the topic – Mick Jennings MBE.” Mark Ayton, Air Forces Monthly, December 2007

“It is a tremendous book, absolutely superb and tells the story through a lot of different eyes. It demonstrates that Coltishall was not just a bunch of buildings, but somewhere held in very high regard by many people. It is very much a definitive history…..” John Welton, Spirit of Coltishall Association

“This Station History is one of the more pleasant volumes I have handled being beautifully printed on high quality paper and handsomely bound. Its contents will be a source of fascination to anyone who has been stationed at Coltishall and it is a good general history for others.” Hugh Cumming, 202 Sqn Association, April 2008

“The book is illustrated by high quality black and white photographs and the publisher and author deserve praise for compiling such a wonderful collection of images. Highly Recommended.” Air International, May 2008

“To read this book is a delight and it is quite clear that Mick has not left a stone unturned in his researches. This book is backed up by plenty of appendices, a great index, superbly reproduced illustrations and clear, careful design. All of this pales against the warm yet authoritative narrative……..” FlyPast, May 2008
