Publisher's Synopsis
The Avro Vulcan was created to carry Britain's nuclear deterrent in the 1950s and 60s. The delta-winged colossus became the backbone of the V-Force until the very end of the 1960s, when the deterrent role passed to the Navy's Polaris submarine fleet. The Vulcan remained in RAF service as a tactical low-level bomber, and was only retired following the introduction of the Panavia Tornado. This is both a comprehensive work of reference and an authoritative history of the mighty Vulcan, detailing every major production variant and the fate of every Vulcan built.
