Produktbeschreibung
This is the much anticipated revised edition of Tim McLelland's Avro Vulcan , a book widely acknowledged as both a comprehensive work of reference and the authoritative history of this charismatic aircraft. Designed by a team led by Roy Chadwick, the man responsible for the legendary langcaster, the Vulcan was created to carry Britain's nuclear deterrent through the height of the Cold War in the 1950s and 60s and Avro's delta-winged colossus became the backbone of the V-Force until the very end of the 1960s when the deterrent rols passed to the Navy's Polaris submarine fleet. Even then the Vulcan remained in the RA service as a tactical low-level bomber armed with conventional and nuclear weapons, and was only retired following the introduction of the Tornado in the 1980s. Avro Vulan covers the origins of the Vulcan and delta-winged flight, details every major production variant, reproduces extracts from the Vulcan's original Aircrew Manual and has appendices on both squadron disposal and the date of every Vulcan built. Also included is a wealth of information and anecdotes from former Vulcan air and ground crews, describing from first-hand experience what it was like to live with the might Vulcan. Complimented with many new photographs and updated appendices, this new edition of Tim McLelland's book is the definitive history of this superb aircraft and an essential addition to the libraries of aviation historians and modelers.
