Venom - De Havilland Venom and Sea Venom - The Complete History

The Venom carried out more operational ground attack sorties than any other RAF aircraft since the Second World War, but its history has hitherto been sadly neglected. With the co-operation and assistance of many former Service and civilian pilots, the record can finally be set straight in what is the definitive history of this ground-attack, all weather and naval strike fighter.

David Watkins discusses the problems of the trials and development programme and takes a detailed look at the aircraft's operational service with the air arms of Australia, France, Sweden, Switzerland, Iraq and Venezuela.
Of particular interest is information relating to the Sea Venom's career with the Fleet Air Arm. It also contains a comprehensive account of Venom sorties during the Suez campaign, the 'Firedog' operations in Malaya and the protracted anti-terrorist offensive in Aden and Oman. These accounts throw new light on the conflicts and have been compiled from interviews, private papers and personal accounts.

Accompanying the text is a wealth of photographs, line drawings and maps, a number of which are from private collections and are previously unpublished.
