From Jet Provost to Strikemaster
A Definitive History of the Basic and Counter-Insurgent Aircraft at Home and Overseas
Over 700 Jet Provost and Strikemaster aircraft were produced in Britain between 1954 and 1983, the former responsible for training generations of RAF jet pilots, the latter an armed version of the Provost which saw action during the Dhofar War in Oman. This well-illustrated history of both aircraft charts their evolution, from initial production in 1954 to the final sales of three aircraft to Ecuador in 1988. A comprehensive appendix lists the complete production and technical histories of both jets.
Military Aircraft of the 1970s
Alongside new developments in military aviation during the 1970s, many of the aircraft of previous decades were still operational. There was therefore a wide variety in service, from the Meteor to the F-14, the Beverley to the C-5 Galaxy. This portfolio of over 300 colour photographs demonstrates the many variants and types, as well as considering the different camouflage markings and liveries that identified the squadrons and air forces to which they belonged.
