Reseñas en medios

"Author Andrew Brookes takes a look at the design and development of the Valiant including the build up of various units and the equipment that was used by the aircraft. We also get a good look at its time when it was used to test nuclear bombs in the South Pacific. The changes in mission are also closely followed so we can see how Valiant operations were carried out. Of course there are a goodly number of pilot and crew stories to go along with all of these events. This is very much a part of what makes this such an enticing series. Also included are quite a few full color profiles of Valiants in every camouflage scheme and with every unit that flew the aircraft. The book concludes with a brief synopsis of all the units that flew the aircraft.
In all, I found the book to be a superb read about an aircraft that is often overlooked. Most highly recommended."
- Scott Van Aken, Modeling Madness (October 2012)

"...enthusiasts of strategic bombing history will find [this book] fascinating."
- David L. Veres, www.cybermodeler.com

"Andrew Brookes's excellent book covers [the] achievements [of the Valian Units] and much more."
- Aviation History (March 2014)

Descripción:
Osprey Pub Co, 2012. New book, 96 pages, COM95. The RAF’s first Cold War strategic bomber, the Vickers Valiant, was procured as an insurance measure in case either the Vulcan or Victor was found to have a serious flaw. The Valiant was the equivalent of the US B-47 Stratojet, and it blazed the trail for the British airborne nuclear deterrent as the aircraft enjoyed a far more active service career than later V-bombers. It was the launch platform for all British free fall nuclear weapons tests both in the Pacific and in central Australia, it took part in the Suez campaign in 1956 and it was the only V-bomber to drop (conventional) weapons in anger until the Falklands operation in 1982. The Valiant was modified to serve in the electronic warfare, strategic reconnaissance and airborne tanker role, but it had to be grounded in early 1965 when the aircraft succumbed to metal fatigue. . Soft Cover. As New. Illus. by Davey, Chris. 8vo - over 7¾" - 9¾" tall.
