Panavia Tornado: Flying in the FAF, German, Italian and Saoudi air forces (Duke Hawkins)

This beautiful Duke Hawkins photo book extensively presents the Panavia Tornado, in service with the French, German, Italian and Saudi Air Forces. It shows the Tornado GR4, GR4a, IDS and ECR. A separate chapter is devoted to the Tornado F3.
The book contains not only action shots, but also many "walkaround" photos that show details of the aircraft from different angles. Chapters on cockpit, fuselage, armament and maintenance work.

The series "Aircraft in Detail" arose from the collaboration between pilots, aircraft technicians and modellers. This volume (No. 5) on the Panavia Tornado is illustrated with over 300 very high quality color photographs, most of which have never been published before.

Tornado in Pictures : The Multi-Role Legend

The Panavia Tornado was designed as a multi-role combat aircraft to meet the needs of Germany, Italy and the United Kingdom. Since the prototype flew in 1974, nearly 1000 Tornados have been produced in a number of variants serving as a fighter-bomber, a fighter and in the reconnaissance and electronic suppression roles.
Deployed operationally in numerous theatres throughout the world, the Tornado has proved to be exceptionally capable and flexible.

From its early Cold War roles it adapted to the rigours of expeditionary warfare from The Gulf to Kosovo to Afghanistan. The early "dumb" bombs were replaced by laser-guided weapons and cruise missiles and in the air-to-air arena fitted with the AMRAAM and ASRAAM missiles.

In this book David Gledhill explores the range of capabilities and, having flown the Tornado F2 and F3 Air Defence Variant, offers an insight into life in the cockpit of the Tornado.
Lavishly illustrated, Darren Willmin's superb photographs capture the essence of the machine both from the ground and in the air.This unique collection including some of David Gledhill's own air-to-air pictures of the Tornado F2 and F3 will appeal to everyone with an interest in this iconic aircraft.

Tornado

Der 1974 erstmals geflogene Tornado ist eine Erfolgsgeschichte im militärischen Flugzeugbau und stellt bis heute ein Hochleistungswaffensystem dar, das von vielen Luftwaffen in verschiedenen Rollen eingesetzt wurde und noch wird.

Dieser Band stellt in der gewohnten Tiefe die ganze Spanne der Entwicklung, über die Erprobung bis hin zum aktiven Einsatz dar. Auch und vor allem die Auslandseinsätze der Bundeswehr in den letzten Jahren finden in diesem Band viel Raum. Die Luftwaffe wird den Tornado noch bis 2030 betreiben - bis dahin bleibt er unverzichtbar. Ein topaktueller Band über einen der Eckpfeiler der Luftwaffe.
