In this gripping and darkly humorous memoir, decorated RAF veteran Group Captain Tom Sawyer pulls no punches as he recounts a life lived at full throttle—from the cockpit to the chaos of command. Only Owls and Bloody Fools Fly at Night charts his journey through the smoky skies of Cold War Europe, top-secret night missions, and the political minefields of military bureaucracy with equal parts grit, gallows humor, and unflinching honesty. Sawyer reflects on the toll of war, the bonds of brotherhood, and the absurdities of military life with the same precision he once reserved for enemy radar. This is not just the story of a pilot—it’s the story of a man who dared to fly into the dark when everyone else turned for home.
