About this product

Product Information

Following the end of the Second World War, Britain developed and maintained a huge fleet of technically-advanced and futuristic-looking jet bomber aircraft. Their sole purpose was to deliver nuclear weapons into the heart of Russia should the need arise, with crews being kept on constant alert. A change of defence policy resulted in the handing over of Britain's nuclear capability to the Royal Navy and this, with the ending of the Cold War, has seen the last of these impressive aircraft withdrawn from service. This text tells the story in detail of why the V-Force was created, explains how Britain's nuclear deterrent was kept ever-ready for action, with details of the three aircraft that made up the V-Force: Avro Vulcan; Handley Page Victor; and Vicker Valiant. It features the record-breaking Vulcan bombing mission to the Falklands in 1982 and the later use of the Victor as a tanker aircraft including operations during the Gulf War. In addition it focuses on the infrastructure required to support this force, from airbases to bomb stores and missile sites, and what survives to the present day.

  • Terrifying. Insane.

    Terrifying account of how ready and willing people were to turn each others cities into base elements. All matter-of-fact, all deemed necessary given the political imperative of the day. Soviet Bombers such as the Il-28 and Yak-25 existed for the same reason as the Vulcan, B-52, 68 and Valiant: to kill many thousands of people in no time at all in the name of capitalism or Leninism. These nuclear bombers are long gone (but who can forget hearing their basso dismal growl way up above?) due to missile tech improvement but nukes cannot be uninvented, neither tactical nor strategic. This book will make you wonder if our species is barking, irredemably, mad.
