À propos de ce produit
Product Information
For aviation, the 1950s was a fascinating decade. For the Royal Air Force, it witnessed the transition from propeller to jet aircraft in the fields of fighter, bomber, trainer and transport aircraft. The 1950s saw the end of the Second World War veterans - Lancasters, Spitfires, Mosquitoes and Sunderlands. They were replaced by the first generation of jet aircraft including the Vampire, Hunter, Javelin and, at the end of the decade, the English Electric P.1 - later named the Lightning. This photographic record of the RAF during the period illustrates all the varied and wonderful array of equipment in use and also considers the important events of the decade including Korea, the Malayan Emergency, Kenya and the Suez Crisis. The decade also saw the beginning of the Cold War, which in turn led to significant developments in military aviation. For the RAF this included the V-bomber force of Valiant, Victor and Vulcan. Another development was the nuclear weapon and this volume includes images and information from Operation Grapple; testing Britain's first live thermonuclear weapon - 70 times more powerful than that dropped on Hiroshima in 1945 - which was dropped from Vickers Valiant XD818 at Christmas Island on 15 May 1957. Another Cold War item featured is the Thor Intermediate-range Ballistic Missile, three of which were located on their launches at twenty RAF Bomber Stations around the UK. 1953 saw the Coronation of HRH Queen Elizabeth II take place at Westminster Abbey on 2 June. Shortly afterwards, a Coronation Review of the Royal Air Force was organized at RAF Oldham, and many images of the never-to-be-repeated event are included in this volume; as are details of all the 640 aircraft involved in the spectacular flypast that followed the Royal inspection. Each chapter in this volume focuses on a specific year, relaying all the fascinating events and highlights. Lavishly illustrated from the archives of the Air Historical Branch, this is a colourful and insightful history, told with narrative flair and a clear passion for the subject matter. AUTHOR: Keith Wilson has photographed some 1,000 aircraft in air-to-air photo sorties since 1977, including a variety of military assignments in fast jets. His photographs have appeared in numerous books, calendars, magazines and other publications around the world. He is the author of 'Red Arrows in Camera' (Haynes Publishing, 2012) and 'RAF Battle of Britain Memorial Flight in Camera' (Haynes Publishing, 2013). Both these publications were released to great critical and commercial acclaim. Colour illustrations

This bookshop is great but just a bit slow sending the order out the door it arrived fine but as we are far away it takes longer some sellers can manage swifter supply but this seller is a bit slower even though the item arrives eventually. It was a long delivery window so yes it did arrive in that time but it’s a small book
