The Vulcan Story - Illustrated Book & DVD Set DVD

As World War Two finally came to a close military minds were already looking to the future and to the design of weaponry that would hopefully prevent such a waste of life again.

This illustrated book written with the help of the 'Vulcan to the Sky Trust' continues the Vulcan story with the development of the B2 to the final operational use as a tanker platform.
