"...very detailed descriptions of the squadrons that flew each
aircraft and their missions."-- "IPMS/USA"
"Looking for a handy handbook on Britain's legendary V-Bombers? Get
V-Bombers: Vulcan, Valiant and Victor - seventh installment in Pen
& Sword's growing "Flight Craft" series. Revised and enhanced from
the 2009 edition, contents commence with notes on design,
development, deployment and disposition of all three RAF designs.
Personal anecdotes and remembrances accompany historical summaries.
And text recaps combat service and variants - experimental and
operational. Thirty-four gorgeous color profiles - terrific project
inspiration - by co-author Dave Windle follow. And coverage
concludes with a superb section on Vulcan, Valiant and Victor
plastic scale models. The build-ups are excellent! Color and
B&W photos further season the account. And tables recap
V-Bomber production & serial blocks and units. It all ends,
appropriately, in elegy. "Never again," authors lament, will
Britain "conceive, design and build not one but ... three entirely
British manufactured military aircraft powered by British-made
engines and armed with British weaponry in any one generation."
Amen. Robustly recommended!"-- "Cybermodeler"
