Jointly developed from the air forces of Germany, the UK and Italy, the Tornado was introduced in 1979, with the last of the 992 constructed in 1999. It is a major component of four air forces worldwide and has three main variants. Tornados saw action in the Gulf War with the Italian and British air forces, and the type was unjustly criticised after the loss of 6 aircraft in this war. With 10,000 words and full colour photographs, this book comprehensively tells the story behind the Tornado and will be an invaluable addition to every aviation enthusiast's library.
