British Experimental Turbojet Aircraft
Jones, Barry
Crowood Aviation Series
From pionnering jets to the foundations of some of today's most successful aircraft, via several blind alleys, the experimental aircraft of the post-war years represent the most exciting years of British aviation. Using the author's own superb artworks, together with numerous archive photographs, this book tells their remarkable stories, of the triumphs and frustrations of experimentation at the cutting edge of aeronautical design.
