The English Electric Lightning

Rare Photographs from Wartime Archives

Martin W Bowman
The Lightning was one of the great Cold War aircraft, taking its first flight in 1954 and becoming the first British aircraft to break the sound barrier in level flight the same year. As the main British fighter for over two decades it was used all over the world. Martin Bowman’s photographic tribute includes a review of the post-1947 development phases and a summary of its service in the RAF.
