V Bombers

Britain's Nuclear Frontline

Beschreibung

Much has been written about the V-bombers â the Valiant, Victor and Vulcan â but virtually nothing has been said about their strategic nuclear strike role. This is the first detailed account of the operational capability and credibility of Britainâ s airborne nuclear deterrent during the peak years of the Cold War.
