"Panavia Tornado" - Informative yet unpolished,
By A Customer
This review is from: Panavia Tornado (Crowood Aviation) (Hardcover)
As this is the first of Andy Evans' books that I have had the pleasure to own, and as I begin initial officer training as a pilot in the RAF on 8/8/99, I am surprised (and rather let down) by the large number of spelling and punctuation errors in a book priced at nearly £.0, and this in a book which clearly aims to be an authority on the aircraft. Another small gripe is that there quite a few photos in black and white which very helpfully point out the colour schemes of aircraft...even though they are almost all in grayscale! Other than this, the content was stimulating and highly detailed, with the sortie descriptions being one of my favourite features. Striking a careful balance between significant fact and "spotter" trivia and pedantry, "Panavia Tornado" was in my opinion #.. well spent - but it's not "The Harrier Story" either.

One of the best in the series,
By Ong Tso Sheng - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Panavia Tornado (Crowood Aviation) (Hardcover)
One of the best on the crowood avaition series. It covers the design, the politics and setting during its design phase, its actual deplyment and operational use. While not a "technical manual" it does cover key components in depth- such as the nav / attack systems. The information provided is more in the text with relatively few photographs but the few that they have are not the commonly re-produced ones and are worth a look. There are few books available on this aircraft type, this covers all aspects in one volume and is not overly technical.

Not outstanding, but you have no choice,
By Victor Liang - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Panavia Tornado (Crowood Aviation) (Hardcover)
I bought this book for looking for more information of Tornado ADV, especially in picture and drawing. But this is its short. Few picture, only 4 pages color pictures, the rest are BW pictures, and no drawing. But character is plenty. It introduces all Tornado variation, for example, IDS, ADV, ECR and some upgrade project, and attach a production list of Tornado. You can find serial number, own nation, deliver date, own squadron, and so on information of per Tornado. Although it is not an outstanding book, but there is not a complete book of Tornado in market. So if you like Tornado, and want to get information about her, you have no choice.
