Description

The Cold War was a time of great tension, and for those stationed at British V-Bomber bases, it was a period of heightened anxiety. The threat of nuclear war hung over them like a constant shadow, and the ground crews who maintained these formidable aircraft were acutely aware of the risks they took every day. From the icy landscapes of Goose Bay in Canada to the sun-drenched island of Malta, the stories of those who served on the V-Bombers are ones of both tragedy and camaraderie. The authors share their experiences, revealing the behind-the-scenes activities that kept these aircraft flying, as well as some surprising facts about the Vulcan's role in the James Bond film Thunderball. This book is a unique insight into the lives of those who served on the V-Bombers, and is a worthwhile read for anyone interested in this fascinating period of history.
