Full black cloth. 192 pp. B&W photos. Light bumping to spine and joints of dust jacket, else fine. The threat of a nuclear war in the 1940s and 50s prompted a massive leap in the capability of aircraft and defence systems. This, together with developments in jet propulsion and the technical lessons learned during World War II, led all the protagonists to produce some exciting and innovative designs. Barry Jones tells the story of these aeroplanes in this well-researched addition to the Crowood Aviation Series.
