The variable-geometry Panavia Tornado is the result of a tri-national development programme between Britain, Germany and Italy, and has seen service during the Gulf War and the conflict over the Balkans. This volume tells the full story of the Tornado, which details the background and politics that led to the formation of Panavia; the development and testing of the aeroplane; and its subsequent service life in a variety of roles with its European and Saudi Arabian operators.

5.0 out of 5 stars
One of the best in the series,
By
This review is from: Panavia Tornado (Crowood Aviation S.) (Hardcover)
One of the best on the crowood avaition series. It covers the design, the politics and setting during its design phase, its actual deplyment and operational use. While not a "technical manual" it does cover key components in depth- such as the nav / attack systems. The information provided is more in the text with relatively few photographs but the few that they have are not the commonly re-produced ones and are worth a look. There are few books available on this aircraft type, this covers all aspects in one volume and is not overly technical.

Not outstanding, but you have no choice,

Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Panavia Tornado (Crowood Aviation S.) (Hardcover)
I bought this book for looking for more information of Tornado ADV, especially in picture and drawing. But this is its short. Few picture, only 4 pages color pictures, the rest are BW pictures, and no drawing. But character is plenty. It introduces all Tornado variation, for example, IDS, ADV, ECR and some upgrade project, and attach a production list of Tornado. You can find serial number, own nation, deliver date, own squadron, and so on information of per Tornado. Although it is not an outstanding book, but there is not a complete book of Tornado in market. So if you like Tornado, and want to get information about her, you have no choice.
