The Persuaders by Philip West. (Y)

Much loved by its crews, the mighty delta winged Avro Vulcan was designed to perform Britains nuclear deterrent bomber role during the Cold War. It carried out this responsibility for more than a decade. The aircraft then served as a low-level nuclear strike and maritime radar reconnaissance platform, before finally being called to war action in the Falklands conflict where it provided long-range bombing capabilities, attacking surface targets and Stanley Airport.
