Kurzbeschreibung
The awesome Avro Vulcan is an enduring image of the Cold War era when the world stood on the brink of nuclear annihilation. For many years the RAF's delta-wing jet bomber was the cornerstone of Britain's nuclear deterrent. Read about the Vulcan's operational history and take a close-up look at its construction. Discover what it takes to own and fly the mighty V-bomber, and find out how engineers keep it airworthy. Centrepiece of the manual is Vulcan XH558 - the world's only flying example of an Avro Vulcan.
Über den Autor
The expert author partnership comprises Tony Blackman, ex-RAF aircrew officer and Vulcan test pilot, Andrew Edmondson, chief engineer on the restored-to-flight Vulcan XH558, and Alfred Price, acclaimed aviation author and former Vulcan RAF aircrew officer.

Avro Vulcan Owner's Manual (Haynes Publication)
25. Februar 2011
Format:Gebundene Ausgabe|Von Amazon bestätigter Kauf
(At the time I am writing this I only received the book yesterday so this is a preliminary review.)
This is a seriously 'cool' book on the British Avro Vulcan bomber with a strong orientation to XH558, the only one left flying in the world.
(see : [...])
If you've had Haynes auto manuals in the past this isn't the same sort of publication ('Removing The Instrument Cluster'); no, it isn't going to tell you how to maintain your Vulcan (if you've got one then you should already know how to service the Olympus engines .... right ?)
Instead this book is a mixture of the background of the Vulcan design, things that happened when the Vulcan was in active RAF service, and then lots of interesting things about XH558 and what it takes to keep her flying. (Ever wonder about the Vulcan's electrical system or how the Olympus engines are started ? Then this is the place.)
If you like airplanes, and if the sight/sound (surely you've looked at the YouTube clips of XH558 ?) of the Vulcan get you pumped-up, then start saving your money so you can buy a copy of this book. (I think it unlikely that the Brits will give up their plane so this is most likely the closest I'll get to a Vulcan .... now ..... see my comment 'below'.)
(Here's something that really 'struck' me when I saw it in the book .... There is a half-page given over describing some special missions that some of the Vulcan aircraft got involved in back in the 1970s .... When it wasn't clear in the West what the Communist Chinese were doing with their nuclear testing program some Vulcans were sent halfway around-the-world to where they could collect air samples over the Pacific. To make that long journey the Vulcans went through McClellan Air Force Base (it's misspelled in the book) on the north side of Sacramento (Calif). Well, I was stationed at McClellan back then and I SAW a Vulcan bomber sitting out on the flight line one day. For over 30 years that has been in my memory and now I know what it was doing there.)
Get the book .... you'll enjoy it.
