This iconic V-bomber was at the heart of Britain's Cold War nuclear force, and the story of the Avro Vulcan is as dramatic as the presence of the aircraft itself. Tim McLelland's Avro Vulcan is both a comprehensive work of reference and an authoritative history. It covers the origins of the Vulcan and delta-winged flight, details of every major production variant, and with newly released information, describes the aircraft's use as a test-bed for a variety of missile, engine, and equipment technologies. The book reproduces the Vulcan's declassified Aircrew Manual together with appendices on the fate of every Vulcan built. It also includes a wealth of information from former Vulcan air and ground crews, plus more than 250 photos, new scale drawings, and color profiles.
