Synopsis
A complete history of the design and development of Britain's iconic and 'V' bomber, covering the period from 1947 to 1984, when it was withdrawn. The history takes in trials and development, taking flight, and the Vulcan B.2 and Black Buck attacks in the Falklands War, and provides details of all 136 airframes including completion dates., Based on Luftwaffe delta-wing technology, the subsonic Avro Vulcan was years ahead of its time in terms of design, power, payload and possessed the handling characteristics of a fighter. First flying in 1951, the mighty Vulcan spearheaded the UK deterrence policy in the Cold War. This fascinating account includes trials, development, first flights and operational duties., The delta-wing design of the subsonic bomber Avro Vulcan was years ahead of its time in terms of design when the Ministry accepted the proposal in 1947. Based on top secret Luftwaffe material after the end of the Second World War, the first prototype flew on 18 May 1951 and it went on to serve in the RAF from 1952 to 1984. During this time it carried Britain's first nuclear weapon, the gravity bomb, and played an important part in the deterrence policy of the Cold War. The Avro Vulcan: A History provides a complete history of the design and development of Britain's iconic and much loved bomber, covering the period from 1947 to 1984, when it was finally withdrawn due to mounting costs. The history takes in trials and development, taking flight, and the Vulcan B.2 and Black Buck attacks in the Falklands War, and provides details of all 136 airframes including completion dates, operational services in unit order, worldwide goodwill and flag-waving missions, making it a valuable record of this graceful and famous bomber aircraft.
