Vulcan test pilot - Tony Blackman

Tony Blackman describes in layman's terms and with statistical back-up
what it was like to tame the first prototypes and to master the unusual
characteristics neccessitated by the Vulcan's shape. Tony puts the
developments, demonstrations at Farnborough, incidents and accidents in
their political and historical context, but as his story is a higly
personal one, we also get true sense of the way he felt whilst he was
flying the aircraft. His words, descriptions and hitherto largely
unpublished photographs will make people feel as he did the excitement
of handling such an incredibly powerful monster always in the knowledge
that he had to be in complete charge at all time as the monster could
and did bite back.
