| Summary / Abstract (Note) | One of the most distinctive and iconic aircraft ever built, the Vulcan formed a key element in the British nuclear deterrent in the early Cold War. Designed to penetrate Soviet airspace and confound air defence systems, they were impressively equipped by the standards of the day. As a former Vulcan pilot, Andrew Brookes offers a unique insight into the history, operation and legacy of the delta-winged V-bomber. |
