Description
The TSR2 Britain's Lost Cold War Strike Jet The TSR2 is one of the most infamous aircraft of the Cold War, a cutting-edge jet that was cancelled due to cost overruns and politics. Its cancellation marked a turning point for Britain's aerospace industry, leading to a reliance on modified US aircraft and pan-European collaborations. In this book, renowned air power analyst Andrew Brookes takes a hard-headed look at the TSR2 project, examining its development, short career, and cancellation. He also evaluates how the TSR2 would have performed in Cold War strike roles and in recent conflicts in the Middle East. Brookes provides a fresh and insightful analysis of the TSR2, shedding light on a fascinating and often overlooked chapter in aviation history.
