Britain's biggest ever aeroplane the Bristol Brabazon first flew in 1949, it wasn't to be a success with no demand for this behemoth so only one ever took to the skies. Powered by 8 Bristol Centaurus engines and comparable in size to the A380 or B737 'Jumbo Jet' it changed the landscape around Filton permanently with the new extended runway and Brabazon Hangars. This amazing little book packs a punch with a vast amount of detail on this major post-war project. It covers the thinking behind the planes development through to the realities they faced building and marketing it. This is 'the' book to have on the Bristol giant.
