  • War Story History: The Blitz, with John Nichol
    Jul 20 2026

    Send us Fan Mail

    John Nichol served in the Royal Air Force for fifteen years. On active duty during the first Gulf War in 1991, his Tornado bomber was shot down during a mission over Iraq. Captured, tortured and held as a prisoner of war, John was paraded on television, provoking worldwide condemnation and leaving one of the most enduring images of the conflict.

    John is the bestselling co-author of Tornado Down and author of many highly acclaimed epics, including Spitfire, Lancaster and Tornado, all of which were Sunday Times bestsellers. He has made a number of TV documentaries with Second World War veterans, written for national newspapers and magazines, and is a widely quoted commentator on military affairs.

    His latest book - Blitz: When World War Two Came Home - is out now.

This podcast feels like a passport into the modern military world. The hosts draw from a far wider roster than the usual “same-unit, same-theatre” line-up you hear elsewhere. That broader reach brings fresh perspectives, surprising stories, and a deeper understanding of Western military life in all its variety. I pressed play on one episode and suddenly I’d binge-marched through half the catalogue. Highly recommended for anyone curious about the people behind the uniform. 🎙️💂‍♂️
