Nightfighter the battle for the night skies
ken delve
The fighter aircraft has developed, over a comparatively short time and from primitive beginnings into a sophisticated machine that combines with the skill and daring of the pilot to achieve 24-hour command of the skies. Even so, night flying remains a dangerous activity, and in this age of electronic navigation and aircraft control systems the origins of night warfare are easily forgotten. Here, Ken Delve, a former RAF Tornado navigator, traces the remarkable progress of the night fighter.
From the early encounters over southern England and the Western Front in the First World War, through to the multi-role aircraft of the 1990s, the story belongs as much to the pilots as it does to the aircraft, and features much in-the-cockpit detail of individual engagements. With over 140 photographs to illustrate the continuous development of aircraft and their weapons systems, Ken Delve's book is an absorbing history of the night fighter and the men who flew them.
