PRESS RELEASE

(4th July 2025)

 

Acclaimed Author Sean Feast Appointed

Director at Fighting High Publishing

 

Fighting High Publishing has appointed acclaimed author Sean Feast to its board of directors. He joins the team as the publisher continues its mission to honour and preserve the stories of those who served during the Second World War.

 

Sean, who recently retired after a 40-year career in PR and advertising, is the author of numerous highly respected books focusing on the lives and experiences of wartime airmen and women. His meticulous research and vivid storytelling have earned him a strong reputation in the field of military aviation, and he is especially passionate about RAF Bomber Command and the élite Pathfinder Force. His work has consistently brought forgotten voices to life, resonating with readers and historians alike.

 

Steve Darlow, publisher at Fighting High, says he is delighted to welcome Sean to the board of Fighting High: “Sean's appointment marks a significant step in Fighting High’s continued growth and dedication to publishing authoritative and compelling accounts of wartime service. His experience and insight will be instrumental in helping us shape our future editorial direction and identify new opportunities to expand our unique catalogue.

 

“Having already established himself as a remarkable storyteller, his experience in researching and sharing the stories of Second World War airmen aligns perfectly with our mission: 'making their story our history'."

 

Sean is similarly delighted with his new role: “There are few publishers who have done more to consistently champion the men and women of the Royal Air Force than Fighting High, and having worked with Steve previously as an author, it is now particularly exciting to join him in a business capacity and help build on his company’s reputation for publishing the very highest quality content.”

 

Originally trained as a journalist, Sean was until recently a director (and co-founder) of Gravity Global, helping to grow the business to be consistently one of the top five B2B marketing consultancies in the world. As well as being an author, he is also a regular contributor to Aeroplane and Britain at War magazines and is a Trustee of The RAF Pathfinders’ Archive.

 

As part of its ongoing development, Fighting High is actively seeking new authors who have manuscripts or proposals focused on military aviation history—particularly those that bring to light personal stories, untold experiences, or underrepresented perspectives from the Second World War and more recent conflicts. Writers who share the vision of commemorating and preserving this vital history are encouraged to get in touch.
