Read the legendary story of the Lockheed C-130 Hercules aircraft, seen through the eyes of former RAF captain Scott Bateman


Take wing with an unsung hero . . .

Hercules is the hero of the skies we never talk about. First to land in any combat zone and last out, the Hercules always unflashily gets the job done – whether that’s a risky air drop or hauling out troops in an emergency evac.
Also working as an aerial tanker, gunship, spyplane, air-sea rescuer and even a precision bomber, its versatility has time and again seen the Hercules give the RAF their edge – from Antarctica to Iraq, Afghanistan to the Falklands.
Captain Scott Bateman drags us into the cockpit and buckles us in for an extraordinary pilot’s seat view of this aircraft’s 50-year history.

Anytime. Anywhere. Anyhow.

What a great book about a great airplane. I got to ride on a USCG C-130 out of Air Station Sacramento when I was a fourteen year old cadet in the Civil Air Patrol (McClellan AFB Cadet Sq. 12) in the 1980s and it was a great experience. It was great hearing about this amazing airplane’s service in the RAF from this fine author. Thank you, Sir!
