More About the Author
Product Description
Book Description
A fine history of the classic bomber, packed with illustration, technical data, service record and brought right up to date with the hoped for 2002 restoration to airworthiness of the one surviving aircraft
Product Description
Designed by a team led by the man responsible for the wartime Lancaster, instantly recognisable, colossal, incredibly noisy, vastly powerful and irresistibly beautiful in its white delta wing, the Vulcan was Britain's independent nuclear deterrent platform through the 1950s and 60s. When the Bomb went beneath the waves with Trident in 1969, the Vulcan remained in service with the RAF as a tactical bomber, last used in anger in a long distance raid on the Falklands in 1982. This book offers a complete technical and service history of what was a remarkable, unique aircraft.

This review is from: The Vulcan Story (Hardcover)
Books on the Vulcan are very hard to find nowadays so this one coming along is a real suprise, and it is a top class account of one of Britains most famous and loved aircraft!It contains everything from an extensive history, technical pictures and information, and a fantastic collection of photographs. It even includes notes and diagrams of the Vulcans display routines and a pilots handbook. If you are a Vulcan fan and you haven't invested already, do it now. This excellent book comes highly recommended!
