Formed in 1982, over the years Grub Street has built up a well-respected and critically acclaimed military history list focusing on aviation. Its catalogue carries a healthy offering of autobiographies and biographies on world war figures. The most exciting development in recent years has been their Boys series giving the reader intimate knowledge of how postwar aircraft such as the Lightning, Hunter, Vulcan, Victor, Valiant, Jaguar, Phantom and Buccaneer were operated. With a large and successful backlist they are proud to publish books that make a significant contribution to historical aviation archives and stand the test of time.
