THE THRILLING #1 BESTSELLING STORY OF ONE OF THE GREATEST COMBAT
MISSIONS EVER FLOWN Shoulder to shoulder with Strategic Air Command
B-52s throughout the Cold War, the big delta-winged Vulcans of the
Britain's V-bomber force faced down the Soviet threat to the West.
In 1982 they were just months from retirement when they flew in
anger for the first time. It was a to be a record-breaking mission
of breathtaking audacity: a single bomber launched from a remote
island airbase to carry out what would be the longest-range air
attack in history. An eight thousand mile round trip. Her crew of
six would be flying into a hornet's nest of modern weaponry:
radar-guided anti-aircraft guns and missiles. There would be no
second chances. Vulcan 607 tells the gripping true story of that
legendary raid for the first time - an operation that many thought
would turn out to be a real life Mission Impossible. 'A masterwork
of narrative history' Clive Cussler 'Vulcan 607 deserves to become
an aviation classic' Len Deighton 'White's gripping narrative reads
like a suspense thriller, yet every word is true' Stephen Coonts 'I
read the book in one sitting ... an utterly compelling war story,
brilliantly written' Simon Winchester, author of The Professor and
the Madman
