When it first flew in 1957, the Avro Arrow was the world's best supersonic combat aircraft. It was the proudest achievement of the engineers and designers in Canada's world-leading aircraft industry. They had already succeeded in building the worlds first passenger jet. This book tells the story of building, testing, and flying the Arrow. It explores the reasons why the Diefenbaker Conservative government of the day cancelled the contract to build these planes — and then ordered the six already finished airplanes cut up and destroyed.

The West was stunned when the Soviet Union dropped its first atomic bomb in August 1949 and a year later the Korean War showcased Russias incredible technological progress in the form of the MiG-15 a fighter capable of besting anything the RAF had to offer at that time. In the wake of the Second World War, funding for the RAFs Fighter Command had fallen away dramatically but now there was an urgent need for new jet fighters to meet the threat of Russian bombers head-on. Britains top aircraft manufacturers, including Hawker, English Electric, Fairey, Vickers Supermarine, De Havilland, Armstrong Whitworth and Saunders-Roe, set to work on designing powerful supersonic aircraft with all-new guided missile systems capable of meeting a Soviet assault and shooting down high-flying enemy aircraft before they could unleash a devastating nuclear firestorm on British soil. The result was some of the largest, heaviest and most powerful fighter designs the world had ever seen and a heated debate about whether the behemoths should be built at all as guided weapons became ever more advanced. This is the story of Britains secret cold war fighter jet designs, fully illustrated with a host of drawings, illustrations and photographs.

Originally designed to intercept Soviet bombers striking from the east, the Panavia Tornado Air Defence Variant was conceived as a stop gap and derived from the hugely successful bomber type. It suffered in its early years from lack of agility and poor systems; nonetheless, while it was never going to be a dog fighter, the advent of more sophisticated missiles and on board systems giving it the option of when and how to fight turned this one-time lame duck into a high value asset capable of holding its own in the fast-moving air superiority environment. With its first flight in 1979 and scheduled to cease operations in 2011, this is a timely photographic study of the Tornado ADV. Including complete histories of all stations and squadrons to operate the type and aircraft service histories alongside thrilling narrative from test pilots, this illustrated book charts the lifetime of a special aircraft.

Mr. Greer outlines the not well-known aircraft and activities of the United States Air Force's all-weather fighters during the first part of the Cold War. He covers the organization, development and decline of the all-weather force in response to the Soviet Union's long-range strategic bomber force equipped with atomic weapons. The author describes not only the individual aircraft from the early night fighters of World War II through the F-106A of the seventies and beyond but also the control organization that directed them until the whole operation was made superfluous by the ballistic missile standoff between the United States and the Soviet Union in the latter half of the Cold War.

Through four decades of the Cold War, the responsibility for defending American airspace rested with an elite band of squadrons who operated the best fighter interceptors the world has ever seen. Equipped with Voodoos, Delta Daggers, Delta Darts and Phantom IIs, the huge frontline force of the 1960s and 70s has today been reduced to a handful of dedicated air defence units within the Air National Guard who fly Fighting Falcons and Eagles.

Three young men in their 20s experience intrigue and adventure as members of the elite U.S. Naval Security Group during the 1960s cold war. They're expertly prepared to intercept and analyze Soviet communications-but not for the dangerous missions that put them in harm's way above, on, and under the oceans of the Pacific Rim. Having just left his new bride, Jake Morton finds himself facing challenges solving communications mysteries for the Navy, and flying into danger over Soviet territory. Cold War Spooks offers a rare glimpse into clandestine intelligence-gathering as Sonny Powell becomes trapped in an American submarine, in Russian waters. Art Spencer-who thought he'd coasted into a cushy Navy desk job in Hawaii, boards a clandestine freighter plying the former atomic test sites in the South Pacific in pursuit of a mysterious Russian submarine far from its home. Lives of two of the men converge in the Sea of Japan-one as a 'guest' on a Russian submarine and the other aboard a U.S. Navy intelligence ship-in a meeting with grave international consequences.
