In 1945 Britain was the world's leading designer and builder of aircraft. The world’s first jet airliner, the Comet; the delta-winged Vulcan bomber; the Hawker Hunter fighter jet – these were just a few of the exemplary aircraft produced in post-war Britain. Within a couple of decades, the designers, the pilots and the legendary companies they worked for were gone. This is their story, beautifully told, capturing a season of glory, exquisite aircraft, and lots of derring-do.
