Opis

John Frazer has always known his destiny is to be a Royal Air Force pilot. As a young man, he zealously studies vast amounts of technical information on ships and aircraft and their operation. By the time he is trained to fly in Rhodesia, it is July 1951, and John is ready for anything-or so he thinks. As John trains over the vast grasslands of Africa, he feels far removed from Europe, where storm clouds are gathering and a Cold War is brewing. After John graduates at the top of his flying class and wins an aerobatic prize, he moves on to serve in his first tour of duty as a fighter pilot in Germany. But John has no idea he has been noticed by his instructors for his innate flying abilities and is being unknowingly groomed to eventually carry out clandestine duties. Suddenly, John finds himself thrust into the midst of international tension as a dangerous war is fought in the shadows. A Deniable Asset shares fascinating insight into the dramatic years of the Cold War, the advanced technology of that time, and the life of a Royal Air Force Pilot immersed in a great struggle for supremacy.
