Description:
The Avro Shackleton was
the final extension of a design idea that had been at the heart of Britain's most successful wartime heavy
bomber, the Lancaster. The Shackleton owned much
of its design to the Lancaster and its relatives but it was designed not
for bombing but for maritime reconnaissance. Barry Jones' history of this
fascinating and popular aircraft looks at the entire history of the Shackleton and its service with the RAF and foreign air
forces. Tracing its lineage back to Avro designs
of World War Two, and the history of maritime reconnaissance aircraft and
Coastal Command even further, Avro Shackleton, will be welcomed by all fans of this great
aircraft and of maritime aviation in general. Hardcover, 8-1/2 x 11, 200 pp
