Military aircraft; Aircraft: general interest
Series: Historic Military Aircraft
During the latter stages of the Cold War, the Royal Air Force and Royal Navy operated a range of air transport and VIP/communications aircraft.

These were essential in providing back-up and support to other units. Some of the most common types included the famous Lockheed C-130 Hercules; the American long-range, wide-body Lockheed TriStar; and the limited-production heavy lift turboprop Short Belfast.

With over 180 black and white and colour photographs, this book, the seventh and final in a series covering British aircraft in the 1970s and '80s, gives these aircraft the recognition that they deserve for the often unsung, yet essential, service that they gave.

AUTHOR: After a 32-year career in the RAF and three years working for a civilian company as its Head of Operations, Chris Goss is now a full-time aviation author and military historian. He is the author of over 40 critically acclaimed books covering aspects of the World War II air war over North- West Europe. He is a historical consultant for a number of major projects, such as the recovery of the Dornier 17 by the RAF Museum and Commonwealth War Graves Commission, and for TV channels such as The History Channel and Channel 5's The Battle of Britain: 3 Days that Saved a Nation.
