"First flown in 1957 and still in active service, the Lightning was the first supersonic aircraft designed and built in Britain. Setting new standards with its rate of climb and interception speed, and still in many ways unsurpassed, its excellent handling qualities earned it the affection of a generation of pilots. This book details the aircraft's development and success - and shows how, but for Government vacillation, the Lightning, with its great overseas sales' potential, could have revitalised the British military aircraft industry."

Dust jacket has light rubbing, is price-clipped, minor edge wear, moderate wrinkling at top of spine and flap-folds - light elsewhere, small tear at top of rear hinge - archivally taped.. Not Signed.
