The RAF Parachute Display Team was formed in 1961. Given the name "Falcons" in 1965, the team is established within No 1 Parachute Training School whose main task is the basic and continuation training of all Britain's airborne services. The team members are parachute jumping instructors and the Falcons are now the second major RAF team involved in aerial display and associated PR work. This book relates the Falcons' story, together with a selection of photographs evoking the development, drama, skills and spirit of free-fall parachuting at the highest level.
