In 1978 his interest in aircraft took Chris Gibson into the Royal Observer Corps where he represented his group, area and country in aircraft recognition competitions between 1980 and 1991. On the standing down of the ROC in 1991, Chris began researching historical aviation and has written several books on un-built projects, particularly guided weapons.
From 1942 the RAF created an effective close support force that operated closely with Allied armies as they closed in on the enemy heartlands in Europe and the Far East. Fighter-bombers, such as Hawker's Typhoon and Hurricane, became key to these operations.
