Vulcan Boys tells the story of the Avro Vulcan through first-hand accounts from the people who operated the aircraft.
The book follows the Vulcan from its development through its central Cold War role in Britain’s nuclear deterrent. Contributors describe long periods spent at readiness and the training required for a mission they hoped would never be flown.
Other accounts cover long-range “Lone Ranger” sorties and participation in exercises including Giant Voice and Red Flag.
The book also examines the Vulcan’s unexpected return to combat during the Falklands War, including Black Buck missions, Shrike anti-radar operations and the landing at Rio de Janeiro.
