The Vulcan, the second of the three V bombers built to guard the UK during the Cold War has become an aviation icon like the Spitfire, its delta shape is instantly recognisable as is the howling noise it makes when the engines are opened for take-off.

Vulcan Boys is the first Vulcan book recounted completely first hand by the operators themselves. It tells the story of the aircraft from its design conception through the Cold War when it played out its most important job as Britain's nuclear deterrent; before unbelievably, at the end of its service life, also playing a significant role, with its bombs & missiles, in liberating the Falkland Islands for which it gained much celebrity. The individual accounts detail how hours at a time were spent on readiness, waiting to be scrambled to defend their country in the event of a third world war.

In addition how their aggressive skills were honed by carrying out Lone Ranger sorties flying to the States & westward around the world, & taking part in Giant Voice & Red Flag, competitive exercises against the United States Strategic Air Comm&. The attacks in the Falklands using Shrike missiles are described accurately & in great detail for the first time including the landing at Rio de Janeiro alongside a vivid account of Black Buck 2. Vulcan Boys is a fascinating & completely authentic read reminding us of the Cold War, how it was fought & the considerable effort required to prevent all-out nuclear war.

Ideal for anyone who's interested in military aircrafts.
