For the first time and with previously unpublished data, this book traces the complete history of the world?s first jet airliner, and how this aircraft was developed into a succession of military aircraft named Nimrod. One chapter contains much information on a remarkable Nimrod version that was unfortunately abandoned, while another deals with a version of the Nimrod that was previously secret, and contains information never previously published in a book. A particular feature of this title is that each aircraft is illustrated by a detailed cutaway drawing.
