English Electric Canberra

160pp. Purple cloth-covered boards, gilt titles on spine. Lightly bumped spine heel. Page margins starting to tan. Internally neat, clean, bright and tight. Dust jacket has some light shelf wear and chipping to top edge, mirrors book damage. 8vo. From its first public display in 1949, the English Electric Canberra drew and held the attention of the aviation world - here was a bomber which could outmanoeuvre all the fighters of the time and climb to 10,000 feet and more above their operating ceiling; and one which was simple to maintain and a delight to fly. Illustrated throughout with black and white photographs.
