Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. This book follows the history of the Class 50s and their service on the UK's railways. During the mid-1960s, BR was looking to introduce a high-powered diesel loco to improve services on the West Coast Main Line. Although the new Class 47s would have perhaps been the first choice, these were already proving unreliable and suffered regular engine failures. Subsequently, BR opted to lease 50 locomotives from English Electric instead. Initially known as English Electric Type 4s, the locos were purchased outright by BR at the end of the lease and became known as Class 50s. When Class 50s were introduced onto Britain's railways, they were regarded as poor substitutes for the beloved Western Region diesel hydraulics they were sent to replace. However, as time went on, they impressed more and more. In fact, towards the end of their careers, they developed a following not unlike the last days of the hydraulics, with many enthusiasts clamoring to photograph or ride behind them. The interest in the class is still evident to this day, with as many as 18 still surviving in various states of repair. Including over 200 images, this volume shows the class at work around the UK, covering not only the BR era, but also subsequent years. This book looks at this iconic class of train in colourful detail. Shipping may be from multiple locations in the US or from the UK, depending on stock availability.

Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. North Korea is often referred to as the "Hermit Kingdom" and not without reason. However, although tourism to this secretive country is rare, it does happen, albeit with limited numbers. In 2016, North Korea hosted its first ever airshow and invited a number of foreign visitors to watch. Unlike most airshows, this was not an international event, and all participants were from North Korea. There were a selection of aged Soviet-era airliners from the national flag carrier Air Koryo and fighters, helicopters, and light transport aircraft from the air force. None of the military aircraft are ever seen outside North Korea's borders, and even the airline only operates limited international services, making the opportunity to see them in action, and photograph them, a once in a lifetime event. This volume is the personal account of a rare visit to one of the most isolated counties in the world. Not only does the book give a fully illustrated look at North Korea's aircraft, both military and civilian, but it then goes on to give a pictorial look at the country itself from a tourist's point of view.

Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. The Land Rover was a post-war marvel, a vehicle that helped change the face of motoring on and off-road around the world. From its humble beginnings as a temporary stopgap intended to get the Rover Company up and running again, created in a workshop at Solihull, it soon endeared itself to those who needed to travel off the beaten track anywhere in the world. Its success can be gauged by the fact that, in only six years, more than 100,000 were made. The vehicle evolved quickly in its first ten years from 1948-58 - to the extent that the Land Rovers known as Series Ones include five wheelbases and three engines - and it became a permanent part of the Rover Company's range. Owners and drivers soon included royalty, farmers, explorers and soldiers, and the Land Rover became a ubiquitous part of the British landscape, especially in rural areas. Inevitably, the Land Rovers that started the legend became cherished and sought-after classics, to the extent that the Land Rover Series One Club is now the largest Land Rover club in the world. Series Ones are owned by people as diverse as the tasks Land Rovers are expected to perform, and this book reflects that. Photographed in recent years, it offers a portrait of these cherished vehicles, their owners and the events they attend. 150 colour illustrations The Land Rover was a post-war marvel, a vehicle that helped change the face of motoring on and off-road around the world.

Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. In the latter half of World War Two, the War Cabinet sanctioned the formation of a committee to consider a post-war world of air transport. The committee, headed by John Theodore Cuthbert Moore-Brabazon, the first man in Britain to hold a private pilot's licence, had the foresight to embrace an emerging method of propulsion: gas-turbine or jet engine technology. They, rightly, placed piston-engines which were quite advanced at the time at the forefront but made a case for the gas-turbine. This enabled Geoffrey de Havilland and Ronald Bishop to begin building a pure-jet airliner to be powered by engines designed by Frank Halford. This was a very brave move from de Havilland and one that gave Britain the lead over the rest of the world. The de Havilland DH106 Comet aircraft made history as the first jet airliner to fly and as the first to offer a scheduled jet passenger service. Even though more than 60 years have elapsed since that first flight, the story of the Comet continues to excite and inspire. With over 90 images and with first-hand accounts from de Havilland's chief test pilot, this book covers the creation, development, testing, successes and failures of the Comet, and looks at its lasting impression on aircraft history. This is a new edition of Aeroplane magazine's De Havilland Comet. The history of the De Havilland Comet.

Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. One of two Lockheed reconnaissance "black" jets that emerged during the 1950s and 1960s, the SR-71 was operated by the USAF and NASA. Produced in tremendous secrecy, and initially flown from areas away from public gaze, the SR-71 is renowned for its high speed and distinctive design. The Lockheed Blackbird family the A-12, YF-12, and SR-71 were the most remarkable reconnaissance and evaluation aircraft ever designed. Routinely flying more than 15 miles above the earth, at three times the speed of sound, the extraordinary black jets only flew operationally from three locations worldwide. The A-12 and SR-71 overflew some hostile nations, including North Korea, North Vietnam, and Cuba, but only flew peripheral reconnaissance adjacent to the traditional foes of China and the Soviet Union. Numerous surface-to-air missiles were fired at Blackbirds, and many interceptors were launched to try and shoot them down, but none ever found their target. Despite being shrouded in secrecy throughout their entire service lives, some details have subsequently been made available, ensuring the Blackbirds remain as fascinating today as they were during the height of their career. With over 170 images, including tail artwork and commemorative badges, this book details the aircraft themselves, the bases that supported operations, and the types of missions flown and their destinations. AUTHOR: Bob Archer's 60 years in aviation began as an aircraft enthusiast turned photographer. He has written for a variety of for aviation journals,as well as having several books published. His primary period of interest is post World War Two and American, Russian and UK manufacturers are his specialities. Illustrated with over 160 illustrations, this book will detail the operations, select missions and the colour schemes/markings of this amazing aircraft.

Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. The B-17 Flying Fortress was conceived by the well-known US aviation designer and manufacturer Boeing during the 1930s, principally as a defensive weapon. Owing to the high levels of publicity it received during its service, it duly became a symbol of the Allied war effort. Indeed, the B-17 became one of the most important US aircraft of the war, and it played a major part in the Allied bombing campaign against Nazi Germany. Eventually, over 12,700 B-17s of all versions were built, with initial service test aircraft being delivered in 1937 and manufacture continuing until 1945, in several major series-produced variants and a host of related models and conversions. With over 150 photographs, this book specifically looks at the B-17G, which was the last major production version and played a significant part in the US strategic bombing campaign over Europe during the final years of World War Two. AUTHOR: Throughout his working life, Malcolm has been associated with aviation and military writing and research for a number of publishers worldwide. This includes contributions to such widely diverse magazines as Aeroplane Monthly in Britain and Popular Mechanics in the US. A child of the Cold War era, he has written extensively on Second World War history.

Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. Britain has been at the forefront of weapons technology since the industrial revolution began and, with the Brennan wire-guided torpedo, pioneered guided weapons. World War One saw several developments, but it was during World War Two that Britain's scientists laid the foundations for a guided weapons industry that continues to this day. Ultimately, the early guided weapons gave Britain's armed forces valuable experience in operating the weapons. Sea Vixens, Javelins and Lightnings were armed with Firestreak and Red Top, while Vulcans and Victors carried Blue Steel, the UK's nuclear deterrent. The Army fielded weapons such as Thunderbird, Rapier, Corporal and Lance. Navy submarines carried Polaris and Trident, while surface ships had Sea Dart, Sea Wolf, Exocet and Harpoon. From this solid foundation, the aerospace companies merged and collaborated, with lessons learned from the earlier weapons paving the way for a new generation of weapons: Skyflash, Meteor, ASRAAM, Brimstone and Storm Shadow arm the Tornado, Typhoon and Lightning; Sea Viper and Sea Ceptor protect the Navy; and Sky Sword defends the Army. With over 140 images, this book relates the history of these weapons and how Britain operates some of the finest guided weapons available today.

Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. The F-105 Thunderchief was primarily designed for tactical nuclear operations. For this reason, it was on nuclear Victor alert in Europe and the Far East. When the air war against North Vietnam was initiated on March 2, 1965, the USAF needed an aircraft with a load-carrying ability, and the only aircraft that could do that job was the Thunderchief. In the second book of what will be a defining trilogy of Thunderchief history, the wartime operations of this iconic aircraft are detailed, alongside investigations of the extensive modification programs that allowed the F-105 to get the job done. This book not only gives in-depth accounts of various historical F-105 events, with inputs from the pilots involved, but is also lavishly illustrated with over 150 images, many of which have never been published before.

Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. In the late 1990s, English, Welsh & Scottish Railway (EWS) ordered a large fleet of 250 Class 66 locomotives to replace a variety of freight locomotive types that had been in service with British Rail for many years. However, EWS also required something with a bit more performance, as well as electric train supply, for hauling charter and mail trains, which were still quite common at that time. A partnership with Royal Mail resulted in the Class 67s moving post around the country. When Royal Mail ended that arrangement in 2004, the Class 67s were pushed into other areas of work, including light freight and occasional passenger services, as well as continuing with charters. Although the design of the Class 67s has not been to everyone's taste, they do at least add a bit of variety to the modern scene. During the 20 years that they have been in service, they have been very reliable with only occasional failures. Containing 220 images, this book illustrates all 30 locos in the class during their first two decades in service.

Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. In 1955, the Vulcan B.Mk2 was proposed and a new wing modification was designed to take advantage of the more powerful Olympus engines and a new stand-off missile known as Blue Steel. The new wing was known as the Phase 2C development. Avro were given a contract for an aerodynamic prototype on 10 July 1956, with the first prototype VX777 making its first flight with the new wing on 31 August 1957. This led to a number of significant changes to the B.Mk2 electrical systems, flying controls and structure. The Avro Vulcan was originally designed as a high-altitude medium bomber, but the operating requirement changed when it was required to fly at a low level. Thanks to the Vulcan's inherently low aspect wing and structure, it proved more suitable to this role than the high aspect wings of the Vickers Valliant and Handley Page Victor. This fully illustrated volume looks at the development and history of the Vulcan B Mk2. This fully illustrated volume looks at the development and history of the Vulcan B Mk2.

Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. This fifth and final London bus routes volume looks at the route numbers with letter prefixes. They derive from the Reshaping Plan of 1966, whereby established trunk routes were broken up, and their outer sections turned into feeder services linking interchange hubs or Underground stations. As these new routes were intended to be operated by flat-fare buses, it was decided to use letter prefixes based on geographical area. Flat-fare operation proved unreliable and was soon dropped, but the lettered routes remained. As in previous volumes, a potted history of the routes and their details are accompanied by up-to-date colour photographs. Illustrated with over 190 colour photographs, this volume represents an up-to-date snapshot of the fascinating modern London bus scene as it stands in the latter half of 2021.

Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. In August 1961, Iranian Airways and Persian Air Services merged to form United Iranian Airlines. A few months later, however, Iran National Airline Corporation was formed by order of the Iranian government, and the new airline took over operations from United Iranian Airlines. When the airline entered the jet age, a few Boeing 727s were leased, which operated on routes to most major cities in Europe as well as the Persian Gulf region. Later, Boeing 737s for domestic flights and Boeing 707s for semi-long-haul flights were purchased, followed by Boeing 747s and 747SPs for the non-stop Tehran-New York route. The Shah of Iran also ordered the French Concorde, an order which was cancelled immediately after the Revolution. As a result of the Revolution and the Iran-Iraq war, domestic and international passenger numbers went down. At the end of the war with Iraq, the Iranian government decided to end the monopoly status of Iran.
