Some aircraft inspire passion, others nostalgia, but others, often
the unsung heroes, are more of a connoisseur's choice. The Handley
Page Victor easily falls into this last category. In this follow-up
to _The Handley Page Victor: The History and Development of a
Classic Jet,_ Volumes _I_ and _II,_ Roger Brooks extends his
earlier historical narratives, this time offering an action-packed
and riveting memoir of a career spanning forty years. The book
charts changes as they occurred in the aeronautical industry from
the 1950's onwards and, as such, it should appeal to both
individuals who were caught up in events at the time as well as
students of the era. In addition to the aircraft itself, Roger
worked extensively with tankers, refuelling the Victor as it took
part in a variety of operations in the fraught Cold War era. He
brings all aspects of his career to life across these pages,
offering the kind of details that can only be gained by first-hand
experience.
