He served for nine years in the RAF before working as Deputy Editor of 'FlyPast' magazine, and has written three other books., Paul Blackah is a member of the crew responsible for keeping the RAF's Lancaster flying and was a chief technician in the RAF for over 20 years., Icon titles were originally published in the classic, larger manual size and have now been produced in a smaller format containing the same information.
