GLOSTER METEOR

$9.95

Titles: Gloster Meteor No’s 1 to 3

The Gloster Meteor was the first British jet fighter and the Allies’ first operational jet. It first flew in 1943 and commenced operations in 1944 with 616 Squadron of the RAF. It was not an aerodynamically advanced aircraft, and suffered problems with transonic stability typical of such early jets. Nevertheless it was an effective jet fighter that served the RAF and other air forces for decades.

The aircraft served an integral role in the development of the ejection seat and two Meteors, WL419 and WA638, remained in service with the Martin-Baker company for many years after retirement from RAF service as ejection seat test-beds. Production of the Meteor continued until 1954 with almost 3,900 made, mainly the F 8 variant.

We offer three titles for the Gloster Meteor, covering flight manuals (called pilot’s notes) for most models of the Meteor in RAF service, plus two manufacturer’s publications. Each title is US$9.95. Each file has been scanned from the original flight manuals and retains any colour pages.
