Description
The V Bombers: Britain's Nuclear Frontline in the Cold War is a detailed account of the operational capability and credibility of the airborne nuclear deterrent during the peak years of confrontation with the Soviet Union. This book, the result of seven years of research by Dr Tony Redding, sheds new light on the role of the Valiant, Victor and Vulcan bombers in Britain's nuclear strategy. The author draws on extensive interviews with over 70 V-Force aircrew and ground crew, as well as over 300 operational research reports and official documents. The book reveals how a small force of surviving V-bombers could have unleashed devastating power, capable of destabilizing the balance between the superpowers. This sobering assessment provides a unique perspective on Britain's nuclear deterrent during the Cold War era. Published in 2024, this book is a worthwhile read for anyone interested in Cold War history and the strategic nuclear strike role of the V-bombers.
