Beschreibung
Building on lessons learned during the Second World War, there has been continual investment in training aircraft and equipment as aviation technology and aerial warfare has evolved. The Air Staff, the Admiralty and British aircraft companies developed a wide range of aircraft from basic trainers to jet-powered aircraft and helicopters. Drawing on research in company and government archives, Teach for the Sky describes the development of training aircraft for basic, advanced, operational conversion and aircrew training from the late 1940s to the present day. The planning and requirements behind the trainers such as the Prentice, Balliol, Jet Provost, Varsity, Gnat, Tucano and Hawk are examined, as are many of the design studies that remained on the drawing board. The evolution of the training organisation and the challenges faced in adapting the training syllabus to new technologies from 1945 to the present day are also analysed.

Illustrated throughout with photographs, drawings and specially commissioned artwork, Teach for the Sky is a unique reference guide to the aircraft and training methods developed to prepare pilots and aircrew for the frontline since 1945.

Über den Autor
Born in 1983, James Jackson grew up fascinated by history and aviation, so it was not surprising that he would eventually combine both of his hobbies. He graduated in 2004 with a Bachelor's Degree in Modern History from the University of East Anglia before returning to higher edication in 2013 to take a Master's Degree in History at Lancaster University. Following his studies he began researching historical aviation, writing articles for aviation magazines and a book in 2018 on British anti-submarine helicopters. Teach for the Sky is his first major book. His research interests are wide but in particular focus on the design and development of aircraft, helicopters, and naval aviation. James lives in northwest England.
