The Typhoon Story (Story series)

Describing the sights, sounds, smells, and what it is really like to fly in a wide range of military aircraft
Reviving a feature of old aviation magazines, this book's detailed accounts give the reader an opportunity to place him or herself in the cockpit, sharing the what it is really like to sit inside a warplane. Few civilians and these days few journalists get the chance to fly in a combat aircraft; the author has been lucky enough to experience flying in a wide range of military planes ranging from the Chipmunk and Bulldog to huge multi-engine craft, front-line combat aircraft, such as the Jaguar, Phantom, Harrier, Buccaneer, Hawk, Hornet, and Tornado, and with the "Blue Angels" and Red Arrows. Combining narrative, interviews, and first-hand descriptions of handling aircraft—including each craft's quirks and vices, this book offers a unique insight into military flying.

The Action Stations Revisited series covers the military airfields of Great Britain. Within each geographical area, coverage ranges from airfields where flimsy biplanes and blimps of World War I rose to defend Britain, through those from which Hurricanes and Spitfires took on the Luftwaffe in the Battle of Britain to those bases from which the RAF fought the long Cold War and more recent conflicts. Arranged in alphabetical order with maps and map references, directions, plus a comprehensive index, these books provide a fascinating wealth of information for the historian and enthusiast alike.

Both a comprehensive work of reference and an authoritative history, this book covers the origins of the aircraft from both the P1040 and P1052 swept-wing versions and moves through design and development of the twin-seat, dual-control Hunter T7 to the 'ultimate' FGA.Mk.9. The Hunter's varied operational successes are noted with particular emphasis on major foreign users in Switzerland and India, and, amongst others, exports to Oman and Chile. It faithfully reproduces extracts from the Hunter's original Aircrew Manual and presents appendices on service histories, serial numbers, and the fate of every Hunter built. It also includes color profiles and a set of scale plans.

This iconic V-bomber was at the heart of Britain's Cold War nuclear force, and the story of the Avro Vulcan is as dramatic as the presence of the aircraft itself. Tim McLelland's Avro Vulcan is both a comprehensive work of reference and an authoritative history. It covers the origins of the Vulcan and delta-winged flight, details of every major production variant, and with newly released information, describes the aircraft's use as a test-bed for a variety of missile, engine, and equipment technologies. The book reproduces the Vulcan's declassified Aircrew Manual together with appendices on the fate of every Vulcan built. It also includes a wealth of information from former Vulcan air and ground crews, plus more than 250 photos, new scale drawings, and color profiles.

Fonthill Media

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. Each aircraft type is examined, looking at how the design was created and how this translated into an operational aircraft. The basic development and service history of each type is also examined, with a narrative that links the linear appearance of each new design, leading to the present day and the latest generation of Typhoon aircraft. Other aircraft types explored will include Hunter, Lightning, Phantom, Javelin and Tornado F2/3. A beautiful and comprehensive study of the UK's design and manufacture of its fighter program from the end of the Second World War to present, Britain's Cold War Fighters is of much importance to aviation and military historians, modelers as well as those interested in the growing popularity of the Cold War. Highly illustrated with many unpublished photos, interviews and eyewitness accounts.
