Best of the Hunter Breed: An Operational History of the Hawker Hunter FR10

Group Captain Nigel Walpole OBE BA RAF (Ret’d)

4.9/5 (9228 ratings)

Description:This book is about the tactical reconnaissance mark of the Hunter FR10 and its front line operation between 1961-70. With the Hunter already well proven in ground attack role this variant was an ideal platform for the excellent Vinten F95 strip aperture cameras. The heavy armament of four 30-mm Aden cannon was retained for use in defense suppression and target marking, unilateral action against high value targets (assigned or opportunity) and if necessary in self-defense. It follows that the pilots selected for this demanding operating regime had to show an ability to operate alone over long distances using basic pilot navigation techniques only at high speeds and ultra low levels; in the main, therefore, they were second or third tour fast jet pilots. REVIEWS "...an excellent history of the Hawker Hunter FR10 and its RAF service... does an exceptional job relating the various aspects of training an FR10 Pilot went through...Historians of aviations would be remiss not to have this volume on their shelves."Air, Power, History Winter 2009We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
