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 programme from the
end of the Second World War to present, Britain's Cold War Fighters
is of much importance to aviation and military historians,
modellers as well as those interested in the growing popularity of
the Cold War. Highly illustrated with many unpublished photos,
interviews and eyewitness accounts.
