Vulcan 607This book by Rowland White tells the incredible story of the first Black Buck mission - the first of five Vulcan bomber attacks carried out on Port Stanley during the 1982 Falklands War. The book really divides into two main sections:
The Vulcan has always been a popular aircraft in Britain, and it's easy to assume that this popularity automatically translated into operational capability. When you read this book, you will have a new appreciation that the operational capability mainly came as a result of the tremendous skill of RAF engineers and aircrew. The thing that I love most about the book is it explores, in lucid detail, the engineering challenges that the RAF faced, and overcame. For example: What do you do if the inflight refuel system has been removed more than a decade ago, and you need to restore it? How do you attach a modern ECM pod to an aircraft which has no appropriate fitting for it, and for which there is no time to design a new fitting? In short, I absolutely love this book. I'm confident that anybody with even a modicum of interest in military aviation will too. Disclosure: The following book(s) details and descriptions provided by Amazon.com.
