Blackburn Buccaneer
Darling, Kev
Crowood Aviation Series
First Edition
Conceived in the 1950s äs a replacement for the Supermarine Scimitar, the Blackburn Buccaneer went into Service with the Royal Navy as its main carrier-borne nuclear strike aircraft. But with a diminishing role to play in world affairs, and a reduction in the number of aircraft carriers, the Navy disposed of its Buccaneers to the RAF, where they went on to become one of the Force's most successful and best-loved aircraft.
This complete history of the Buccaneer takes the reader from first proposals and the original production S.1 to the final fling of the type as a laser targeting aircraft during the first Gulf War.
