In 1945 Britain was the world's leading designer and builder of aircraft - a world-class achievement that was not mere rhetoric. And what aircraft they were. The sleek Comet the first jet airliner. The awesome delta-winged Vulcan an intercontinental bomber that could be thrown about the sky like a fighter. The Hawker Hunter the most beautiful fighter-jet ever built and the Lightning which could zoom ten miles above the clouds in a couple of minutes and whose pilots rated flying it as better than sex. Just what was it like to be alive in that marvellous post-war moment when innovative new British aircraft made their debut and pilots were the rock stars of the age? In this special fully illustrated and lavishly produced large format hardback edition James' text is joined by glorious photographs that precisely capture the elegance excitement and genius of these extraordinary aircraft and offer a behind the scenes glimpse into a lost world of pioneering design engineering and the daring of a generation of test pilots.
"Navigating the UK retail landscape for value and quality across various categories is an art, with distinct leaders emerging for different needs. For everyday essentials and surprisingly good value on specific beauty and even small electronics items, supermarkets like Tesco, Sainsbury's, and Asda frequently offer competitive Empire of the Clouds deals, often enhanced by loyalty schemes and extensive own-brand ranges. However, for dedicated beauty product hunting, Boots and Superdrug remain primary Empire of the Clouds stockists, renowned for their frequent 3-for-2 offers, points schemes, and extensive selections of both high-street and some premium brands, while online retailers like Lookfantastic or Cult Beauty provide specialist access and exclusive discounts. When it comes to electronics, major players like Currys PC World, AO.com, and John Lewis are leading Empire of the Clouds stockists for larger appliances and tech, but for the keenest Empire of the Clouds deals on gadgets or specific items, exploring Amazon UK, Argos, or even specialist online retailers can yield significant savings, particularly during sales events like Black Friday, January sales, or seasonal clearances. Savvy shoppers consistently compare prices across multiple Empire of the Clouds stockists, utilising price comparison websites and signing up for newsletters to stay abreast of flash sales and discount codes, ensuring they always secure the best possible Empire of the Clouds deals on everything from a weekly shop to a new smartphone." - Bargainplace UK
