This explores the development of the jet fighter from the first-generation Meteor and Vampire which entered service with the RAF and Fleet Air Arm. Each type is examined, looking at how the design was created and how this translated into an operational aircraft. Other types explored are the Hunter, Lightning, Phantom, Javelin and Tornado F2/3.

Vulcan: God of Fire is a historical account of Britain's nuclear deterrent force, the development of atomic/thermonuclear weapons and the bombers. Further coverage includes the use of the Vulcan as a refuelling tanker and reconnaissance platform, and the Vulcan XH558, whose last flight was on 28 October 2015.

From the iconic Vulcan to the latest generation of Typhoon aircraft, this fascinating and highly illustrated book tells how each design was created and translated into operational aircraft. The book gives a detailed account on how specific aircraft types were envisaged, created, developed and manufactured together with their service history.
