British Cold War Fighters
Used Book in Good Condition
Britain's Cold War Fighters explores the creation and development of the jet fighter, tracing the emergence of the first jet designs (the Meteor and Vampire) through to the first-generation jets, which entered service with the RAF and Fleet Air Arm. From design and basic development through to full service history, aircraft such as the Hunter, Lightning, Phantom, Javelin and Tornado F2/3 are examined in detail to demonstrate the progression in design and technology up to the latest generation of Typhoon aircraft. With over 250 illustrations, many previously unpublished, and firsthand accounts from pilots, engineers and ground crews, Britain's Cold War Fighters is the first comprehensive study of Britain's postwar fighter aircraft. It is essential reading for aviation and military historians, modelers and Cold War enthusiasts.
