Publisher's Synopsis
This is a comprehensive survey covering every weapon used by the British air services, featuring in detail weapon aiming systems, guns, powered turrets and guided missles, through to the 1990s Sidewinder missile. This volume is designed to become a "benchmark" reference work for aviation and military buffs, current and former service personnel, model makers and the growing band of aviation relic collectors. The book charts the histories of the three main companies concerned with their design and manufacture - Bristol, Boulton Paul and Frazer-Nash.
