Books by Nathan Gray
Nathan Gray is a decorated test and fighter pilot who flew with the UK’s Fleet Air Arm for over two decades. Hazard Spectrum is his memoir of his experiences.
“The ultimate ambition was that if the book could encourage one person to do something that they thought they couldn’t do, that would be enough, and it would have achieved its goal. It was written for somebody who’s got no aviation background or military experience—for any member of my family or friends to understand what it’s about without any acronyms or footnotes. It’s supposed to be completely understandable and relatable for everybody, so you can join the adventure and experience what it’s like to sit in the ejection seat, to eject, to be involved in accidents, in conflict, to make those life and death decisions, and ultimately, to be responsible for the world’s largest defence project.” Read more...
