Synopsis
This book describes the introduction of the RAF's first dedicated fighter bomber, the Typhoon, in 1942 and its successor, the Tempest, in 1944. The author commanded the first Typhoon squadron to specialize in fighter ground attack. He writes about the background to their development, the pilots who flew them and their operational record including Tempest operations in 1944 from D-Day, through the V1 flying bomb battle and on to Europe and the Rhine. A concluding chapter compares the Tempest with other comparable fighter aircraft and the author argues that it was in many ways superior to all the others.

hardcover. Condition: Good. Our good condition books are generally good for reading but not for gifting or collecting. They could have imperfections such as creasing, fanning, inscriptions, margin notes, yellowing, staining on edge or cover or pages, bumps, scuffs, etc etc (sometimes multiple of these). It's a wide category that encompasses anything that isn't almost-new down to anything that is slightly better than poor. We would NOT recommend gifting Good books - these should be considered reading copies. Our books are dispatched from a Yorkshire former cotton mill. We list via barcode/ISBN so please note that the images are stock images and may not be the exact copy you receive, furthermore the details about edition and year might not be accurate as many publishers reuse the same ISBN for multiple editions and as we simply scan a barcode or enter an ISBN we do not check the validity of the edition data when listing. If you're looking for an exact edition please don't order (at least not without checking with us first, although we don't always have time to check). We aim to dispatch prompty, the service used will depend on order value and book size. We can ship to most countries, see our shipping policies. Payment is via Abe only.
