Förlagets beskrivning
This unique alphabetical directory details all the aircraft, airships and gliders which have served the UK's forces throughout the 103 years since the first powered flight, the airship Nullis Secundus, in 1907. A companion to the first volume which listed fighters, ground attack aircraft, strike, overland reconnaissance and trainers, this second volume focuses on bombers, over-sea reconnaissance, transports, tankers and long-range surveillance. Intending to create a quick and useful reference book, author Terry Hancock has detailed every type of manned aircraft that has carried military serials and seen service with the operational squadrons or training and support units of the British armed forces, the RFC, RNAS, RAF, Fleet Air Arm and Army Air Corps. Each entry lists the type, role prefix, details on its roles, crew, capacity, service period, units and countries, armament, engines, serials, and a performance and dimensions table. The work is intended as a first reference point and will answer many questions, such as - how many squadrons flew the Lancaster Mk I; what Mark of the Martin-Baker ejection seat was fitted to the Vulcan B2; which bombers were in service during 1937; which companies built the Airco DH 4 under license; and, which fighters carried the Skyflash air-to-air missile? All of these, and many more, are answered in this book. Listing unusual features such as types written-off in accidents or destroyed in hostile action, and with detailed appendices covering weapons and engines, this widely illustrated volume is a must-have for every aviation enthusiast
