SUPERMARINE ATTACKER SWIFT AND SCIMITAR. POSTWAR MILITARY AIRCRAFT: 7.
Ian Allan Shepperton Surrey 1992 first edition. 112 pp large 8vo 9 1/2" H hard cover in dust jacket. ISBN 0711020345 Profusely illustrated with b&w photographs drawings/diagrams. "The name Supermarine is universally associated with the Spitfire an aircraft which helped to defeat the Luft waffe during the Battle of Britain; the company's fundamental role in the development of Britain's military jet aircraft is less well known. Although now overshadowed by the success of the Hawker Hunter and of the BAC Lightning the Supermari n e A t t acker Swift and Scimitar were among the most influential of Britain's post-war military aircraft. The Attacker first flown in 1946 was the first jet fighter to be standardised on for squadron service with the Fleet Air Arm. The Attac ke r w as f ol lowed by the Swift. The first of this type of jet interceptor flew in 1951 and was introduced to squadron service in February 1954; it thus gained the distinction of being the first swept-wing jet fighter to enter service with the R oya l Ai r F orc e beating the Hawker Hunter by several months. The teething problems apparent with the Swift however ensured that it was the Hunter that was to go on to great success. Further success was to come to the Supermarine company with the S cim itar . A gai n destined for the Fleet Air Arm the Scimitar holds the distinction of being the first swept-wing single-seat jet fighter in service with the FAA as well as being the first FAA aircraft to be equipped to carry atomic weapo ns. Th e au thor narr ates the often dramatic history of these influential but now unfairly ignored aircraft. Forty years after the event the book will enable the aviation historian to appreciate better the importance of Supermarine's role in the dev elopm ent of Brita in's military jet aircraft." Dust jacket has been price-clipped has light wrinkling at top/bottom of spine and flap-folds. Fine/Very Good. Ian Allan, Shepperton, Surrey, 1992, first edition. hardcover

In 'Fighter Boys' Patrick Bishop brought to life the pilots who flew Spitfires and Hurricanes in the summer of 1940.Their skill and bravery decided the Battle of Britainsaved the nation from invasion and created conditions for Hitler's defeat.In 'Bomber Boys'Bishop tells a different but equally fascinating story.The 125000 men from all over the world who passed through Bomber Command during the Second World War were engaged in a form of warfare that had never been implemented before and never would be again.Between 1940 and 1945 they flew continously stopping only when weather conditions made operations impossible.For much of that timethey were the only fighters capable of attacking Germany inits own territory.There was nothing romantic about their struggle.Often barely out of boyhoodthey lived on bleak basesflying at night on longnerve-racking missions that often ended in death.The odds of surviving were stacked heavily against them.In all55000 were killed counting for nearly one in ten of all British and Commonwealth dead. Despite these sacrificesthe Bomber Boys have remained on the edges of our collective memory.When the fighting stoppedthey became something of a political embarrassment.Their actions have been the subject of a controversy that continues to the presentobscuring not only the losses theysuffered but also the couragecomradeship and fortitude with which they fought. In this powerful and moving work of historyPatrick Bishopbrilliantly captures the characterfeelings and motivationsof the bomber crews and pays tribute to their heroism and determination.They were among the best of their generationwho were called on to carry out one of the grimmest duties of the Second World War.'Bomber Boys' brilliantly restores these men to their rightful place in our consciousness.
