Description
The Vulcan Story The Avro Vulcan is an iconic symbol of the Cold War era, with its delta-wing design and nuclear capabilities making it a formidable force in the skies. This full-color tribute to the Avro Vulcan, written by aviation journalist and author Peter R. March, provides a detailed history of the aircraft's development and its most notable exploits, including its service in the Falklands War. March's book delves into the story of XH558, the first Vulcan B2 to enter service with the RAF in 1960, and the efforts to restore it to flight. With the recent financial support from the Heritage Lottery Fund, hopes are high that the Vulcan will return to the skies in early 2006, filling the gap left by the grounding of the last Concorde. Through his research and writing, March sheds light on the Vulcan's history, making this book a valuable resource for anyone interested in the aircraft's story.
