Description

Aircraft Engine Test Beds: British Jet Fighters and Bombers This book brings together a range of British jet fighter and bomber aircraft that served as test beds for new engines during the late 1940s and 1950s. Over 200 images, including some published here for the first time, accompany this collection of experimental and trial aircraft. The book covers various types of aircraft, including the de Havilland Vampire, Gloster Meteor, Hawker Hunter, English Electric Canberra, Short Sperrin, Vickers Valiant, and Avro Vulcan. These planes were used to test different engines, both jet and rocket, allowing them to serve as test beds for specific powerplants. A valuable resource for aviation enthusiasts and modelers specializing in jet aircraft, this book provides a unique insight into the development of British jet fighters and bombers during a pivotal period in history.
