The TSR2 is one of the greatest 'what-if' aircraft of the Cold War,
whose cancellation still generates anger and controversy among
aviation fans. It was a magnificent, cutting-edge aircraft, one of
the most striking of the Cold War, but fell victim to cost
overruns, overambitious requirements, and politics. Its scrapping
marked the point when Britain's aerospace industry could no longer
build world-class aircraft independently. After the demise of TSR2
the RAF's future jets would be modified US aircraft like the
Phantom and pan-European collaborations like Tornado and Typhoon.
In this book the eminent air power analyst and ex-Vulcan bomber
pilot Andrew Brookes takes a fresh, hard-headed look at the TSR2
project, telling the story of its development, short career and
cancellation, and evaluating how it would have performed in Cold
War strike roles as well as in the recent wars in the Middle East.
