Gloster Meteor: The Revolutionary Jet Fighter (Great Planes of World War Two Book 4) Kindle Edition

by Chaz Bowyer (Author) Format: Kindle Edition

Book 4 of 5: Great Planes of World War Two

#1 New Release in Korean War History

An in-depth chronicle of the jet aircraft that revolutionised military aviation during the height of World War Two.

Essential reading for aviation enthusiasts, military historians, and anyone fascinated by the evolution of modern air combat.

Debuting as the world’s first fully operational jet-powered aircraft in July 1944, the Gloster Meteor transformed aerial combat.

How did this revolutionary plane come into being? Did it truly live up to its promise in the heat of battle? And how did it shape the evolution of modern aviation?

Renowned aviation historian Chaz Bowyer charts the remarkable story of this jet — from its conception in the mind of Sir Frank Whittle, to experimental development and its first combat flights in the Second World War. For over a decade, the Meteor reigned as the RAF's premier fighter, capable of travelling over six hundred miles an hour, serving air forces around the world before it was ultimately outpaced by newer, more advanced aircraft.

Gloster Meteor stands as a compelling tribute to one of aviation history's most groundbreaking aircraft.
