Description

The Panavia Tornado: A European Success Story in Aviation. Developed by an international consortium of British Aerospace, Germany's MBB, and Italy's Aeritalia, the Tornado was designed to meet a 1968 specification for a multi-role combat aircraft. First flown in August 1974, this twin-turbojet-powered two-seat aircraft with a variable geometry wing entered service with several European air forces in the 1980s. The Tornado saw extensive use during various conflicts, including operations in the Gulf, Afghanistan, the Balkans, Libya, and Syria. With over 200 remaining in service as of 2024, it remains an important part of military aviation history. This book provides a comprehensive overview of the Tornado's development, production, and operational history, accompanied by 200 illustrations. Written by aviation expert David Oliver, this well-informed and readable account offers insight into the Tornado's development, deployment, and enduring legacy in European air forces.
