About This Item
Hinckley, England: Midland Publishing, 2005. Second Printing . Hardcover. Near Fine/Near Fine. 4to - over 9¾ - 12" tall. pp: 176. The 1957 White Paper changed the emphasis of air defence. It was determined that aircraft would no longer be capable of defending against tactical nuclear weapons. Consequently, aircraft production took a dramatic nose dive. This book details the interesting projects that were being developed in Britain prior to this fateful decision. Each project includes a detailed history, drawings, and photographs. The photos are black and white. However, At the end of the text there is a 'British Secret Fighter Colour Chronology' with full colour illustrations of fifteen secret projects. This is a near fine copy in dust jacket.
