MY WAR IN THE SKIES WITH 847 NAVAL AIR SQUADRON BY LT CMB JAMES NEWTON DFC.
The brilliant white explosion burst in front of the Lynx, showering the windscreen
with gravel-like shrapnel. It was like a scene from an old war movie,only I was in it.I
was in charge of it.

account of the ferocious battles that followed the British assault on Basra.

tanks, mortar units, snipers and entire divisions of Iraqi troops as the Marines on
the ground lay siege to the strategicaly vital oil installations.
Newton flew over 30 missions and his daring missions earned him The Distinguished
Flying Cross the first Royal Navy Pilot to receive the award in over 50 years.
