(Book #ID 103823)

Published by Fonthill Media Limited, Millview House, Toadsmoor Road, The Bourne, Stroud, Gloucestershire First Edition 2019. 2019.

First edition hard back binding in publisher's original black cloth covers, gilt stamped title and author lettering to the spine. 8vo. 9½'' x 6¼''. His first two books on the Thor ballistic missile attracted wide interest. Britain's Blue Streak, developed in the second half of the 1950s was potentially Thor's successor had the project not been cancelled but nonetheless is an obvious follow-on volume. The author is a member of the committee of the Royal Air Force Historical Society and was financial controller of the Bomber Command Memorial in London. In the early 1950s the United States wished to concentrate its defence resources on the development of a 4,000 mile range intercontinental ballistic missile. As a stop-gap measure, US defence chiefs hoped to assist Britain with the development of its own intermediate range missile. Despite US concerns that British resources were limited the Air Ministry nonetheless proceeded with the missile, called Blue Streak, to fulfil the operational requirement which would give Britain an independent deterrent which should remain invulnerable until the early 1970s. Blue Streak: Britain's Medium Range Ballistic Missile' traces the path from the political decision to issue the contracts through the early development and testing both in the UK and in Australia. The reasons for the project's cancellation are considered and Blue Streak's subsequent role as the first stage of the ELDO civilian satellite launcher is noted. A requirement of the project was the need to base the missiles in underground launchers to protect them from attack. This aspect of the project is fully covered using recently available information and specially drawn plans. Contains 224 pp with monochrome plans, figures and archive photographs throughout. Fine condition book in Fine condition dust wrapper, not price clipped. SIGNED by the author to the title page 'John Boyes.' Unused new book. Dust wrapper supplied in archive acetate film protection.
