If you own the first edition you will be buying Volume Four to cover the Fighters which are now noticeably absent. (It’s okay. Spend the money, you’ll be happy you did.)
Massively rewritten and revised, this is essentially a new standalone volume and not a revised edition.
This new volume has approximately 15% more pages than the 2004 addition and as mentioned above deletes the fighters. The book is very comprehensive in covering British bomber development in terms of single engine, multi-engine, heavy, maritime patrol and torpedo bombers.
Because the scope goes to 1950, there’s also an eight-page chapter covering the first design explorations of jet bombers including coverage of a jet Mosquito.
Of the appendices, the Projects Summary will probably of the most interest due to its coverage of projects by the small and “also ran” firms such as Folland, and General Aircraft Ltd. This appendix also includes a few line drawings of some these proposed aircraft including one by Parnall(!).
Overall? This book is lavishly illustrated with photographs, line drawings, brochure art, and photographs of a few manufacturer style models. (Some are contemporary scratch-built.) The text does an excellent job of describing each aircraft and does so in a manner that gives the reader an understanding of the various factors and circumstances that were driving each development such as engineering or manufacturing resources, lack of materials, etc.
Highly recommended without reservation and a must buy for anyone interested British aviation from the interwar to post-war period… (meer)
