Description

Take a trip down memory lane in this stunning book which evokes the passion and nostaligia of the Vulcan aircraft. The unique characteristics of this plane make it an experience to remember for both pilots and crew, and the historical detail and colour photography will be fascinating to anyone with an interest in this area. The last in the long line of classic Avro bombers, the delta winged Vulcan served for nearly three decades as the backbone of the RAF's nuclear and conventional strike force. Blooded over the Falkland Islands in 1982, The Vulcan ended its career as part of Strike Commands tanker fleet.This beautifully illustrated book has all you need to know about the last of the V bombers, with text written by retired journalist Ken Ellis.
