{"product_id":"books-lightning-eject-by-peter-caygill","title":"Lightning Eject","description":"The English Electric Lightning entered RAF squadron service in 1960 and continued flying in the interceptor role until 1988. It had a stunning world-beating performance with a top speed in excess of Mach 2 and a climb rate that would take it to 40,000 feet in a little over 3 minutes. The aircraft's safety record, however, left much to be desired. During a period in the early 1970s the attrition rate was the loss of a Lightning every month. There was a six per cent chance of a pilot experiencing an engine fire and a one in four chance that he would not survive.This book looks at Lightning accidents and incidents in chronological order using the official accident reports, Board of Enquirey findings and first-hand accounts from pilots. It puts the reader very much 'in the cockpit'.","brand":"World of Books ","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53505763410193,"sku":null,"price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/9781848848856.jpg?v=1778101742","url":"https:\/\/www.worldofbooks.com\/en-gb\/products\/books-lightning-eject-by-peter-caygill","provider":"World of Books ","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
