Vickers 1911-77

Vickers 1911–77

NOTE: This is a new book edition of Aeroplane’s Vickers Company Profile 1911–77

It seems incredible that a mere 33 years separates the maiden flights of the Barnes Wallis-designed R.100 airship from the beautiful VC10 airliner. Formed more than a century ago, Vickers produced more than 70 different types of aircraft, as well as a host of sub-variants, over a 49-year period. Not all were successful, but each contributed experience, which benefited the next aircraft or was stored away for the future.

This new book edition provides an insight into the aircraft produced by Vickers, as well as a history of the aircraft company.
