The Tornado F2 had a troubled introduction to service. Unwanted by its crews and procured as a political imperative, it was blighted by failures in the acquisition system. It was adapted from a multi-national design, planned by committee, and developed to counter a threat which disappeared. Modified rapidly before it could be sent to war, the Tornado F3 eventually matured into a capable weapons system, but despite datalinks and new air-to-air weapons, its poor reputation sealed its fate. David Gledhill, a former Tornado F3 navigator, tells the story from an insider’s perspective of the early days as one of the first instructors on the Operational Conversion Unit, through the aircraft’s development and operational testing, to its demise. He reflects on the aircraft’s capabilities and deficiencies, and analyses why it was mostly under-estimated by opponents. Although many books have already described the Tornado F3 in detail, Gledhill’s involvement in its development provides a unique insight into this complex and misunderstood aircraft programme, dispelling some of the myths that have dogged its reputation for decades. This is Gledhill’s third book, and like the others, it captures the story in pictures taken in the cockpit and around the squadron. Illustrations: 123 b/w and 62 colour photographs

The Panavia Tornado was designed as a multi-role combat aircraft to meet the needs of Germany, Italy and the United Kingdom. Since the prototype flew in 1974, nearly 1000 Tornados have been produced in a number of variants serving as a fighter-bomber, a fighter and in the reconnaissance and electronic suppression roles. Deployed operationally in numerous theaters throughout the world, the Tornado has proved to be exceptionally capable and flexible. From its early Cold War roles it adapted to the rigors of expeditionary warfare from The Gulf to Kosovo to Afghanistan. The early "dumb" bombs were replaced by laser-guided weapons and cruise missiles and in the air-to-air arena fitted with the AMRAAM and ASRAAM missiles. In this book David Gledhill explores the range of capabilities and, having flown the Tornado F2 and F3 Air Defense Variant, offers an insight into life in the cockpit of the Tornado. Lavishly illustrated, Darren Willmin's superb photographs capture the essence of the machine both from the ground and in the air. This unique collection including some of David Gledhill's own air-to-air pictures of the Tornado F2 and F3 will appeal to everyone with an interest in this iconic aircraft.

The Tornado has been the backbone of the RAF within its many different theaters of operation. The aircraft started as a European venture between Germany, Italy and the UK, based on the original swing-wing technology invented by Barnes-Wallis. It has also been successfully exported to several Middle-Eastern air forces. It is likely to remain in service for several years to come.This book contains the world famous color profiles created by Dave Windle of the type in different operational modes, configurations and color schemes. Martin Bowman has written detailed descriptions and photographs to create the perfect enthusiasts reference.

ABSTRACT: A new metric for identifying severe tornado (F3+) alleys is presented. Regions are distinguished by average F-scale values with a minimum of 15 severe tornado events within 200km. Five distinct "severe tornado alleys" are described across the United States: 1) the Carolinas, 2) "Dixie Alley," 3) Kansas and Oklahoma, 4) Iowa and Nebraska, and 5) Wisconsin, Illinois, Indiana and Michigan. These regions are evaluated using CFSR global reanalysis data to determine the presence of atmospheric variables relating to tornadogenesis (as described by prior work) in the pre-tornadic environments. Composite CFSR soundings and composite field charts are created for severe tornado events within each region. A robust comparison of pre-tornadic atmospheric conditions among regions is conducted using a Student t-test at 95% confidence.. An evaluation of the Sigtor parameter, a commonly used significant tornado forecast parameter developed by the Storm Prediction Center, is also conducted to identify regional variability. It is found that each region significantly differs at 95% confidence from each other in terms of many atmospheric variables from pre-tornadic environments, with the most significant differences existing between the two more eastern and two mid-western regions. SigTor values and the individual components, are calculated for severe tornado events and for every time-step for every grid-point within each region over a "peak severe tornado season" for U.S. severe tornadoes in order to compare the event cases to a background mean state. It is shown using linear correlations and covariances of the individual terms of the Sigtor parameter to the Sigtor value that not only is there discrepancy in Sigtor values between regions, but the different components of SigTor contribute to the value of Sigtor in different ways between regions. Some regions show background values of Sigtor terms to be favorable for tornadogenesis even when tornadoes have not occurred. Regional biases in presence of atmospheric variables preceding severe tornado events between regions are described.
