RAF Canberra Units of the Cold War by Andrew Brookes
A detailed history of the Canberra, which saw considerable service as a photo-reconnaissance platform for no fewer than 19 squadrons from the early 1950s through to 2006.
Andrew Brookes completed RAF pilot training after reading history at Leeds University. Following reconnaissance and strike tours on Victors, Canberras and Vulcans, during which he logged 3,500 flying hours, he served as a UK nuclear release officer in NATO and was the last operational RAF Commander at the Greenham Common cruise missile base. He was coordinator of airpower studies at the RAF Advanced Staff College and Aerospace specialist at the International Institute for Strategic Studies from 1999-2009. He is now Director of the Air League in London. He publishes and broadcasts widely, and he received the Defence Aerospace Journalist of the Year Award in 2004 and 2006. He has written numerous aviation books, including Vulcan Units of the Cold War, Victor Units of the Cold War and Valiant Units of the Cold War for Osprey’s Combat Aircraft series. Andrew is a Liveryman of the Guild of Air Pilots and Air Navigators, a Fellow of the Royal Aeronautical Society and a Fellow of the Royal United Services Institute.
