Changing technology – part II
The questions we looked to address here were:
-
The Vampire was developed into the Venom: was that the end of its development potential?
-
The Canberra was a very successful bomber – sold to the USAF as the B-57. What made the aircraft such a winner?
-
Against Soviet air defences, what advantages did the Canberra have in the early Cold War period?
Our starting points – the questions above – largely deal with fighter developments, and then the first jet bomber for the RAF.
