This book will whet the interest of RAF fans in general, and in particular fans of the Canberra. --Aeroscale Osprey does a great job of showing the development and changes from the early B.2 to the late PR.9. The color schemes shown are representative of the times and places where the Canberra earned its reputation as a pretty darned good bomber. Recommended. --Jim Pearsal, IPMS/USA Included in the book are the usual great pilot stories, excellent period photos, some in color, and a goodly number of full color profiles, covering the types nearly 55 years of operational use by the RAF. It is a great read and an equally good reference book. One that is a must for the Canberra fan. --Scott van Aken, www.modelingmadness.com -This book will whet the interest of RAF fans in general, and in particular fans of the Canberra.- --Aeroscale -Osprey does a great job of showing the development and changes from the early B.2 to the late PR.9.
