SUPERMARINE ATTACKER

$9.95

Title: Supermarine Attacker

Originally designed for the RAF, the Supermarine Attacker combined the wings and landing gear of the Spiteful (a piston-engined aircraft developed from the Spitfire) with a new fuselage and tail unit to accommodate the Rolls-Royce Nene jet engine.

The first example flew in 1946 and after successful carrier trials was ordered into production for the Royal Navy. Entering service in 1951, 145 examples were produced for the Royal Navy, but were obsolete by 1957. 36 examples were supplied to the Pakistani Air Force.

This title contains the complete flight manuals for the Supermarine Attacker, along with the maintenance manual and an article reprinted from Flight magasine. The files have been scanned from the original manuals and retains any colour pages.
