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.

In Armed Action, Lieutenant Commander James Newton provides a breathtaking

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

Newton and his collegues in the Illustrious 847 Naval Air Squadron fought with

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.
