Britain's desire to stay at the leading edge in the design and
development of modern jet powered aircraft was born in the later stages
of the Second World War. The Royal Air Force sent requests to the
leading aircraft manufactures for a variety of specifications, amongst
which was one for a long-range heavy bomber. Three designs were accepted
and eventually went into production - these became the V-Bomber Force.
The Vickers Valiant, Vulcan and Victor saw prolific and varied service
during the course of their careers. This book contains fabulous color
profiles (created by Dave Windle) of all three types in different
operational modes, configurations and color schemes. Martin Bowman has
written detailed descriptions and photographs to create the perfect
enthusiast's reference. This enhanced and revised edition (the book was
initially published in 2009) comes complete with model-making content as
well as a host of brand new design features, making for a lively new
addition to our esteemed Flight Craft series.
