BLACKBURN Aircraft - One of the early aircraft manufacturers of Great Britain, during the 20th. Century. A comprehensive study of this British manufacturer.
Profusely illustrated history of British and Allied aircraft of the First World War.
Conceived in the 1950s as a replacement for the Supermarine Scimitar, the Blackburn Buccaneer went into service with the Royal Navy as its main carrier-borne nuclear strike aircraft. But with a diminishing role to play in world affairs, and a reduction in the number of aircraft carriers, the Navy disposed of its Buccaneers to the RAF, where they went on to become one of the Force's most successful and best-loved aircraft. This complete history of the Buccaneer takes the reader from first proposals and the original production S.1 to the final fling of the type as a laser target aircraft during the first Gulf War.
Last in a series of five volumes about British aircraft, this book provides a complete record of aircraft construction in Northern England, Scotland, Wales, and Northern Ireland. The aim of the series is to record British aircraft manufacture in nearly all of its manifestations, in the form of a regional survey of the United Kingdom.
