THE THRILLING #1 BESTSELLING 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 a 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 eight thousand 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.

‘A masterwork of narrative history’ Clive Cussler ‘Vulcan 607 deserves to become an aviation classic’ Len Deighton ‘White’s gripping narrative reads like a suspense thriller, yet every word is true’ Stephen Coonts ‘I read the book in one sitting … an utterly compelling war story, brilliantly written’ Simon Winchester, author of The Professor and the Madman
