Following on from the success of Victor Boys & Vulcan Boys, Tony Blackman, in collaboration with Anthony Wright, brings you Valiant Boys to complete the V Force set. This is a fascinating collection of personal accounts of operating Britain's first V bomber by aircrew & ground crew. The book tells the story from the aircraft's birth taking off from Vickers' tiny airfield at Brooklands to its premature death from fatigue.

There are tales of testing atom bombs in the Australian desert, dropping hydrogen bombs in the middle of the Pacific &, as a complete contrast, attacking airfields with conventional bombs in Egypt during the very brief & abortive Suez campaign. We are reminded of how the Valiant provided the UK s first nuclear deterrent by always having some armed aircraft on st&-by twenty-four hours a day, supported by their air & ground crews, ready to be flown at a moment s notice on a one-way trip to launch an atomic war. Some Valiants were given a photographic role providing accurate images from high altitude & were used not only to gather military intelligence but also to survey the UK & countries overseas. Others were developed into flight refuelling tankers breaking point to point records before enabling Britain s fighter aircraft to be refuelled & fly anywhere in the world. This book completes Tony Blackman's trilogy of the three V bombers.

As Marshal of the Royal Air Force Sir Michael Beetham makes it clear in his foreword: ' It is good to have a book written by aircrew & ground crew telling their stories & how they operated the aircraft so that all these things are recorded & not forgotten.' Not as well known as the Vulcan & Victor, the Valiant is often overlooked; this book will go a long way to redress the balance.

Ideal for anyone who's interested in military aircrafts.

This hardback book has 222 pages & measures: 24 x 16.5 x 2cm approx.

Ever since Bram Stoker's perennial best-seller Dracula, vampires have been one of the key inspirations to film-makers & authors alike. The latest installment in the Twilight series was a major hit & modern takes on the classic themes of blood, immortality, fear & desire are never far from the best-seller lists. Yet vampires are a source of rich inspiration to visual artists as well, & this collection reveals their work in all its gruesome glory. From the elegant beauties of Jasmine Becket-Griffith to the decaying savages of Anne Stokes, from the more whimsical caricatures of Delphine Levesqe Demers to Jo Chen's renditions of Buffy the Vampire Slayer, Vampire Art Now showcases the varying representations of this legendary figure. The book illustrates the vampire in his or her many moods: either wooing lovers with a hypnotic stare, biting long necks (willing & unwilling), or staring straight at the viewer as if ready to bound off the page in a nocturnal frenzy. By presenting multiple artists' takes on what it means to be a vampire, this collection illustrates how one cultural icon can vary so greatly across different cultures, classes, media, & artistic aesthetics. No other supernatural creature has captured our collective imagination quite like the vampire & Vampire Art Now is the perfect compendium to pay homage to that tradition. After perusing these pages, these illustrations are sure to haunt readers' nightmares & tantalize their fantasies, as they have for generations. ...
