A snappy contribution to this series which examines how this machine fitted into British defense policy and its operational history from nuclear deterrent, to showing the flag, to its participation in the Falklands War. That the author was a pilot on these machines means that there is often a wry tone relating to how things got done in the RAF. ( ) keine Rezensionen | Rezension hinzufügen

The best of the three RAF jet bombers in the early years of the Cold War (1946-1991), the Vulcan was designed as the Avro 698, and possessed fighter-like maneuverability at low level despite its size. First flown in August 1952, the Vulcan entered service in February 1957. Most were equipped to carry the Blue Steel stand-off missile, but in 1966 around 50 Vulcans were redeployed in a tactical low-level bombing role. Three flew during the Falklands War, and the last Vulcans in service were used as aerial tankers until April 1984. This book examines the design of the Vulcan, looking at the improvements made to its engine and its evolving combat role. The illustrations include many in-flight photographs and detailed color profiles. Keine Bibliotheksbeschreibungen gefunden. |
