Title: Westland Whirlwind
The Whirlwind was designed to a British specification for a high-speed heavy fighter equipped with four 20mm cannon, and first flew in 1938. At that time it was one of the fastest and most heavily armed combat aircraft in the world.
Unfortunately, in spite of its outstanding performance continual development problems with its unique Rolls-Royce Peregrine engines delayed deployment of the aircraft, and in the end only 116 examples were built. These equipped three RAF Squadrons, but the aircraft type was withdrawn from service in 1943.
This title contains the RAF Flight Manual (titled Pilot’s Notes) and the maintenance manual (titled Air Publication Volume One) for the Westland Whirlwind, along with the Aircraft Profile for the Whirlwind. To give value, it also contains the RAF Provisional Pilot’s Notes for the later development of the Whirlwind, the Westland Welkin. The files have been scanned from the original manuals and retain any colour pages.
