The history and operation of the Blackburn (later British Aerospace) Buccaneer strike aircraft is traced in this book from initial design development through to retirement from the Royal Air Force and South African Air Force service. The Buccanneer began life as a carrier-borne nuclear-armed strike aircraft but when the Royal Navy lost its large aircraft carriers it was transferred to the RAF. Final operations of this popular two-seater took place during the Gulf War. The book details the Buccaneer Fleet Air Arm career including the story of the "Torrey Canyon" super tanker incident, and also gives technical description and data including construction, weaponry and performance figures.
