During the years before it built the Spitfire, Supermarine tendered for many other fighter contracts - and bombers too. The company''s designers and engineers, led by RJ Mitchell, created some incredible designs which never saw the light of day. Historian Ralph Pegram reveals the Supermarine project aircraft which never reached the sky - but which are no less fascinating for all that. Illustrated with his own technical drawings, Pegram''s Supermarine Secret Projects Vol. 2 lifts the lid on a forgotten era of fighter and bomber design.

The Vulcan, the second of the three V bombers built to guard the UK during the Cold War, has become an aviation icon like the Spitfire. Its delta shape is instantly recognisable as is the howling noise it makes when the engines are opened for take-off. Vulcan Boys is the first Vulcan book recounted completely first hand by the operators themselves. It tells the story of the aircraft from its design conception through the Cold War when it played out its most important job as Britain's nuclear deterrent; before unbelievably, at the end of its service life, also playing a significant role in liberating the Falkland Islands.Vulcan Boys is a fascinating and completely authentic read reminding us of the Cold War, how it was fought and the considerable effort required to prevent all-out nuclear war.

Through meticulous research and gripping narratives, author David Baker sheds light on the pivotal role Russian bombers have played - and continue to play - in shaping world events.Strategic bombing had proved decisive in helping the Western allies bring Nazi Germany to its knees during the Second World War but the Soviet Union had never developed an equivalent capability - an oversight it would rapidly address as the cold war began in earnest.Immense efforts to reverse-engineer interned American B-29 Superfortresses resulted in the fearsome Tupolev Tu-4 - and heralded a bold new era of heavy bomber design in Russia and across the Soviet Union.Within a few short years, the advanced swept-wing Tu-16 jet bomber, codenamed Badger by NATO had made its first flight. This was swiftly followed by the legendary turboprop-powered Tu-95, codenamed Bear, which remains a symbol of Russian air power today.Less than a decade later, the Soviet Union was flying the mighty long-range Myasishchev M-4 Bison and the supersonic Tu-22 Blinder, both of which raised grave concerns in the West when their existence became known.By the early 1970s, the highly capable Tu-22M Backfire had joined the Soviet arsenal and then, as the Iron Curtain fell and the world changed, so too did Russian bomber technology. Secret advancements in stealth and precision strike capabilities led to the creation of the Tu-160 Blackjack, a supersonic behemoth capable of carrying a devastating payload of cruise missiles.But the story doesn't end there; the turbulent post-Soviet era saw Russia reemerge onto the global stage with a succession of upgrade programmes taking the venerable Tu-95, the Tu-22M and Tu-160 into the modern age with cutting-edge systems and weapons.From the depths of history to the forefront of modern warfare, Russian Bombers showcases the remarkable engineering prowess, strategic innovation, and indomitable spirit that define these iconic warplanes. Through meticulous research and gripping narratives, author David Baker sheds light on the pivotal role Russian bombers have played - and continue to play - in shaping world events.

Author Graham Robson offers fascinating insight into this lost world of aviation wrecks and relics, illustrated throughout with his own full color period photographs.Davis-Monthan Air Force Base, on the outskirts of Tucson, Arizona, is well known as the location of the US military's massive aircraft storage and disposal site. Lesser known, perhaps, are the numerous aircraft salvage companies that became established around the perimeter, whose businesses were founded on the acquisition and disposal of airframes obtained from the military base.The locations in which these companies operated were, nominally, referred to as 'the scrapyards', though in reality they were much more than that. The various companies specialized in repurposing hundreds of former military aircraft, be that restoration back to airworthiness, salvaging for useful spare parts to support similar types still in commercial operation, or smelting the airframe carcasses back into aluminium ingots.In The Scrapyards: Aircraft Salvage Around Davis-Monthan AFB - Volume 1 1980s, author Graham Robson offers a fascinating insight into this lost world of aviation wrecks and relics, illustrated throughout with his own full colour period photographs.
