Description
Hawker's Secret Projects: Cold War Aircraft That Never Flew is a detailed examination of the aircraft designs that never made it to flight. Hawker Aircraft Ltd, one of Britain's most successful military aircraft manufacturers, produced many war-winning planes, but some designs were abandoned due to financial or political reasons. This book delves into the stories behind these failed projects, exploring their origins and the reasons for their demise. The author's investigation sheds new light on the inner workings of Hawker Aircraft Ltd and its famous Project Office. By examining the successes and failures of the company, this work provides a fitting tribute to those who contributed to its success. With a wide-ranging approach, the book documents the history of Hawker Aircraft Ltd and its most notable projects.
