Book About Missiles?

[Hobbes]

ISTR reading here (or did one of the SIG members show it to me last year at Telford?) that there's a book about British missile projects.

I found Tony Butler's British Secret Projects: Hypersonics, Ramjets and Missiles at Amazon, but could there be another one, containing both real and prototype/hypothetical projects?

Harro

BSP: IV on Hypersonics and missiles is by Chris Gibson and Tony Buttler. Some of the missile material has been removed due to the Midland not being interested in the ground based surface to surface weapons like Anti-Tank stuff.

John Forbats recent books on Vickers missiles and TSR2:-Nav Attack covers some of the missile work Vickers were intolved with :- Red Dean, Vigilant, Honest John replacement etc.

Ah yes, the Vickers missiles book is the 'other' book I remembered. Not the one I need, though (Vickers projects only means the scope's a bit limited). I'll have a look at the BSP book, though.

Not British missiles, but my best friend Brian Nicklas has just published *the* book on every US missile.  He spent years researching (he works at the Air & Space Museum) every project (real or otherwise) that ever used an "M" designation in the US inventory - plus a whole bunch of things that actually got built but never had an "M" designation.  This ranges from sounding rockets to ICBMs and air-to-air missiles.

many years ago [in the 1980's] salamander published a book on the world's missiles. it covered a wide variety of missiles some of which were then just paper
projects. it is ususally harro easily available on the second hand market at very
cheap prices. i will see if i can get you a copy.

The Salamander book is titled 'an illustrated guide to modern airborne missiles'.

Not worked on in ages, and straight text, but perhaps of some interest:

Ah!  That'll teach me to actually READ the entire page.  Due out 1/4/2008.

Looking forward to adding this one to my library.

Found the 'illustrated guide to modern airborne missiles', and I'm having another go at ordering BSP IV.
