Written and illustrated throughout by renowned aviation artist Chris Sandham-Bailey, RAF Cold War Jet Aircraft in Profile covers 14 different aircraft types designed and built by British companies and operated by the RAF between 1945 and 2010. Featuring profiles, text and diagrams of frontline and trainer jets from the Gloster Meteor during the closing stages of the Second World War to the Bae Harrier which was finally retired in December 2010, it has everything in between, including the iconic Avro Vulcan and English Electric Lightning. Offering dozens of different colour schemes, scale plans, scrap views and detailed notes, this is indispensable reading for enthusiasts and modellers alike. Types included in Cold War Jets are: Gloster Meteor, de Havilland Vampire, de Havilland Venom, English Electric Canberra, Supermarine Swift,Hawker Hunter, Vickers Valiant, Gloster Javelin, Handley Page Victor, Avro Vulcan, Blackburn Buccaneer, English Electric Lightning, Hawker Siddeley Harrier and SEPECAT Jaguar.
Leicestershire-based father of two Chris Sandham-Bailey comes from a family with strong ties to aviation and grew up in Somerset to the sound of Sea Harriers from Yeovilton (an aircraft he still has a passion for). An artist from an early age he has a degree in Art/History of Art, combining these two to produce several thousand profiles over the last decade for books and magazines along with commissions for the Luftwaffe and RAF. He has covered all aspects of aviation from the pre-war years to the latest, both civilian and military. When time allows he has also authored the text for articles and books. He claims his job is ' just colouring in aircraft' but this belies the huge amount of research and effort he puts into every one of his detailed and accurate designs.
