About this product
Product Information
The Hawker Hunter is one of Britain's classic post-war jet aircraft. Initially introduced in 1954 as a swept-wing, transonic, single-seat day interceptor, it rapidly succeeded the first-generation jet fighters in RAF service such as the Gloster Meteor (see Flight Craft 13) and the de Havilland Venom. Powered by the then newly developed Rolls-Royce Avon turbojet, the Hunter's performance transformed the RAF's day fighter squadrons from the mid-1950s until the advent of the English Electric Lightning from the early 1960s (see Flight Craft 11). Even then, as successively improved variants of the type were produced with increasingly more capable engines and expanded fuel capacity, the Hunter successfully transitioned into a strike/ground attack fighter-bomber and fighter reconnaissance platform. Two-seat variants were developed for training and other secondary roles with the RAF and the Royal Navy and a few remained in use until 2001, albeit with specialised MoD Test and Evaluation units - well over forty years after the type's initial introduction. Hunters were also famously used by two RAF display teams, the 'Black Arrows', who looped a record-breaking twenty-two Hunters in formation, and later the 'Blue Diamonds' as well as the Royal Navy's 'Blue Herons'. The Hunter saw combat service with the RAF in a range of conflicts including the Suez Crisis as well as various emergencies in the Middle East and Far East. The Hunter was also widely exported, serving with many foreign air forces, in which it also saw active service, which unfortunately lies outside the scope of this particular publication. Almost 2,000 Hunters were manufactured by Hawker Siddeley Aviation, as well as being produced under licence overseas and will remain one of the UK's most iconic aircraft designs of all time. AUTHORS: Martin Derry and Neil Robinson have been involved in compiling, editing, assisting-in and writing about aviation-related books and publications for over 30 years and have brought their collective wealth of knowledge of the aircraft types and the colours that they flew in to enhance the Flight Craft series, having compiled and authored several books in the range. Both have several more books under production and in preparation for future Flight Craft range titles. colour illustrations

Excellent book on the Ferrari 312 series of racing cars. If there is one criticism to make, it would have helped to have more detailed diagrams/cutaways on the cars, the 312 T is explored in detail, but not the other models and speeds in the technical specifications at the back of the book dont show the max speeds and acceleration rates of the cars. Exemplary, professional and friendly customer service from this seller, a sincere pleasure! No nonsense as it should be.Great comms! A *************
