Tornado book

Hello,

What would the best British Tornado book be please? Both from the history and the modelling side. Thank you. I have the lock on already.

best regards

On the history side, Michael Napier's recent book on the Tornado GR1 looks pretty decent; his previous Tornado over the Tigris was useful and is well-regarded by the Tornado mates of my acquaintance who've read it; then again, as he was a TGR pilot, he knows of what he writes.

Because the Tornado GR.4 is still in service the story is still being written and most books published so far can be a bit dated although the Datafile mentioned above might change that.

 

For the Tornado F.3 you could try -  https://www.squadronprints.com/item/978-0-9512656-5-9_TornadoF3-25YearsofAirDefence_0_0_1798_1.html - which was published just before 111 Sqn. disbanded and the type was withdrawn from frontline service.

Thank you for the help! I think I'll start with the Sam publications one and buy the others if needed! Any idea when it'll be out?

Best regards

Thanks for the pointers, guys. 

 

The Key Publishing Tornado special is good too. Lots of useful pictures, I found, and interesting.

And there is a Warpaint book coming on the Tornado as well.
