V Force Boys, by Tony Blackman and Anthony Wright, brings together previously unpublished accounts from aircrew and ground crew across all three of Britain’s V-bombers: the Vickers Valiant, Avro Vulcan and Handley Page Victor.
The contributors describe life within the Cold War nuclear deterrent force, including training, navigation before GPS and the practical realities of maintaining aircraft and weapons at readiness.
The book includes a first-hand account of dropping the UK’s last hydrogen bomb and an armourer’s perspective on the movement of nuclear weapons, alongside less formal incidents rarely captured in official histories.
The 208-page paperback provides a people-centred view of the V-Force and the very different careers of its three aircraft.
