British Fighter Planes

{detailed description}This book tells the story of the fighter aeroplanes, culminating in the Hurricane, Spitfire, Tornado, and Whirlwind—the story of what they have to do, have done, and how they do it. It is by C. G. Grey, for so many years editor of the Aeroplane, who besides knowing as much about aviation as any man alive, is one of the most outspoken and readable writers on flying matters.
'Few people in this country have had a longer experience of the aircraft industry.... The result is an interesting, _almost romantic story of the growth and development of Britain's fighter strength.'—Times Literary Supplement.
'As knowledgeable a glimpse of the picture as we are likely to get for the time being. - You need not be tutored in matters aeronautical to find this book excitingly readable. . . . Comment is bold and pertinent and facts are revealed and examined with dispassionate candour.'—Yorks Evening News.
With a chapter on American aircraft, photographs of leading American fighter planes coming into service with the R.A.F., and notes on American fighters and bombers likely to be supplied to Great Britain.
