A definitive, myth-busting history of the TSR2, Britain's cancelled Cold War strike aircraft.
If there is one aircraft that is remembered in the UK as a victim of political interference more than any other, it has to be the TSR2. Much has been written about the stillborn project to provide the RAF with a world class strike/reconnaissance aircraft in the 1960s, memories of the aircraft and the circumstances that led to the cancellation of the aircraft are still strong 60 years after this happened.
This is a revised and enhanced third edition of a comprehensive, accurate and honest account of the TSR2 story, tracing the project's development from its Cold War origins in the 1950s to its final cancellation in 1965, aimed at aviation historians and those interested in the history of military technology.
The book examines the project in detail, eliminating the many myths and misconceptions that have surrounded this aircraft for six decades. It is fair to say that much misinformation has been published on the TSR2, which this book professes to dismiss, presenting the reader with a thorough and realistic overview of the entire project by dealing with the facts and not the speculation and fantasy which has plagued this aircraft for so long. It presents a detailed, factual and very readable account of the development and subsequent demise of TSR2 project.
In addition to Tim McLelland's original work, new chapters have been added to this third edition including a further extra chapter by renowned aviation author and historian Tony Buttler covering the design problems faced by the TSR2; a chapter by Clive Richards looking at the pre-history of requirement GOR339 which led to the TSR2; and additional extracts from the TSR2 flight and engineering manuals.
