About this episode
This bonus episode discusses the operational history of Britain's Army Air Corps as detailed in the book 'Ops Normal'.
A special bonus episode about Ops Normal – the authorised operational history of Britain's Army Air Corps by John Greenacre and Mike Peters, co-host of the Mighty Eighth Podcast. Since its formation in 1957, the Army Air Corps has played a prominent role in almost every British Army operation in modern times. A comprehensive operational history of the Army Air Corps experience, the book provides a unique insight into the aircraft deployed and the experiences of the men and women involved. Covering the years 1957 to 2017, it captures the pace of change and turbulence as a small embryonic corps of aviators evolved into the fully fledged combat arm of today. The book Ops Normal can be purchased from: Helion & Company (UK Publishers) Army Flying Museum (UK) Amazon For regular listeners, further episodes of the Mighty Eighth Podcast are in the pipeline and due to be released in early 2025. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
