Royal New Zealand Air Force

This new study of the Royal Air Force nuclear deterrent goes into greater depth than the usual study of the post-1945 RAF. Britain's independent nuclear research was carried out with great ingenuity and the three V-bombers (Victor, Valiant and Vulcan) were fine and long-serving aircraft, but the author has also recognised the broader implications of this era. The United States was reluctant to share nuclear technology in the years immediately after World War II, forcing Britain to develop its own weapons and delivery system. The development of submarine missiles also initiated a longstanding rivalry between the Royal Air Force and Royal Navy Nuclear considerations were a key factor in the development of the RAF's strategy and tactics from the 1950s onwards and, in the author's insightful analysis, an important indicator of Britain's changing role in world affairs and increasing dependence on the United States.
