The thrilling number-one best-selling story of one of the greatest combat missions ever flown
Shoulder to shoulder with Strategic Air Command B-52s throughout the Cold War, the big delta-winged Vulcans of the Britain's V-bomber force faced down the Soviet threat to the West. In 1982, they were just months from retirement when they flew in anger for the first time.
It was to be a record-breaking mission of breathtaking audacity: a single bomber launched from a remote island airbase to carry out what would be the longest-range air attack in history. An 8,000-mile round-trip. Her crew of six would be flying into a hornet's nest of modern weaponry: radar-guided anti-aircraft guns and missiles.
There would be no second chances.
Vulcan 607 tells the gripping true story of that legendary raid for the first time - an operation that many thought would turn out to be a real life Mission Impossible.

Excellent!

I was a little familiar with the Vulcan raid during the Falklands War, thanks to it being briefly covered in Vulcan Boys. Although excellent, that book was telling many stories and it wasn't the place to go into extreme detail. Thankfully, Vulcan 607 and Rowland White have rectified that!
There is a tremendous amount of detail, and so it's a testament to both the author and narrator that this is presented in a way that is fascinating and really enables you to feel that you're there and a part of the crew, without becoming tedious. It includes many of the details of squadron life or in-flight happenings that are rarely covered, so you get deeper insights of what it must be like to be active aircrew.
I knew they had performed in-flight refueling but had not appreciated how this was new for the Vulcans (both crew and their equipment) and the number of items they had to scrounge from a myriad of sources.
I really hope that the White/McMillan team write/narrate a lot more tales from RAF pilots as they really bring the stories to life.
Wow, incredibly gripping and entertaining
