Welcome to Aviation Classics, a series of high-quality glossy publications centred on the world’s greatest aircraft, the events in which they played crucial roles and those who flew, maintained and supported them.
In issue 5 of the 'Aviation Classics' series we go 'supersonic' by showcasing the incredible 'English Electric Lightning'- the all-British jet fighter capable of travelling at twice the speed of sound.
Writing for this edition are several ex-Lightning pilots, describing from first hand experience various eras of the Lightning's 28 years of service with the RAF.
Edited and compiled once again by Jarrod Cotter, the issue will comprise the publication's now-established high-quality mix of features and photographs showing the jet off to great effect and will include the following:
• A focus on 74 squadron, the first RAF unit to receive the Lightning into service
• Flying the Lightning F2A during the Cold War in RAF Germany
• The Lightning Preservation Group - caring for the type in a former Q-shed
• The origins of its design and some of the famous squadrons which operated this amazing aircraft.
