Royal Air Force in the Cold War, 1950-1970 Miękka oprawa – 19 listopada 2014

4,7 4,7 z 5 gwiazdek Liczba ocen: 46

Soon after the Second world War, wartime allies became Cold War adversaries, and by 1950 the perceived threat of a Soviet strike on Western Europe or Britain dominated military planning. For the next forty years, the Royal Air Force was in the front-line of the Cold War. In Britain and Germany, light bomber crews exercised in preparation for a future conflict, while interceptor pilots stood by ready to counter incursions by Soviet aircraft. Between 1956 and 1969, the elite crews of the iconic V-Force of nuclear bombers trained to perform the ultimate mission, striking targets deep in the heart of Russia. Protecting British interests overseas, personnel at stations across the Middle East and Far East were regularly engaged in supporting operations during the many colonial conflicts which occurred throughout the 1950s and 1960s. Undertaking these duties were new British-designed aircraft introduced to squadrons from the early-1950s. The names of these extraordinary aircraft, which included the Hunter, Lightning, Vulcan and Canberra, became synonymous with the Cold War. In this book, Ian Proctor uses over 150 highly evocative colour images from a single remarkable Air Ministry collection to portray the RAF and its personnel between 1950 and 1970. He provides a selected insight into service life, the aircraft, recruitment and training, and the operations and exercises undertaken by the RAF during a twenty year period of the Cold War.

5,0 z 5 gwiazdek One of the better books
Opinia napisana w Wielkiej Brytanii dnia 20 lipca 2022
Bought for my father, an ex RAF fighter pilot in The Cold War (Meteors & Javelins) who really enjoyed it and said it was one of the better books about the period.

5,0 z 5 gwiazdek Buch mit Zeitgeist in erstklassigen Fotos
Opinia napisana w Niemczech dnia 18 stycznia 2019
Seltene Fotos aus den Archiven des britischen Verteidigungsministeriums. Stimmt, hab ich so noch nie gesehen. Sehr gute Aufnahmen, die zeigen, dass es nicht nur im Osten propagandaträchtige Fotos mit gestellten Posen gab. Aber das macht das Buch vielleicht umso interssanter. Kampfjets, Bomber, Kunstflugmaschinen und viele Angehörige der RAF in unterschiedlichen Diensten sind hier zu sehen. Es gibt sechs Kapitel mit Einleitung, die vielen Fotos werden zusätzlich erläutert und vermitteln auch etwas von dem Zeitgeist während des kalten Krieges. Es wird, wie das Buch schon sagt, die Zeit bis 1970 beleuchtet und immer wieder entdeckt man beim Durchblättern und Lesen neue Sachen. Lohnt sich !

outstanding book like most pen and sword books. Books on the RAF during the cold ward are in short supply. This book fills a nice gap.

Opinia napisana w Wielkiej Brytanii dnia 9 września 2016
This is a well written and really well documented about the RAF in the Cold war Period. I have never read a book which is so detailed about the RAF.. The knowledge of this Author is amazing, and he never served in The RAF. I am really looking forward to his next book as I am sure it will be as interesting as this one, Wonder if he could write another book about the Royal Navy, as My son served in there for lots of years.????
