The Blackburn Buccaneer was designed to a Royal Navy specification for a two-seat carrier-based low level tactical strike aircraft, and incorporated advanced design features such as area ruling, boundary layer blowing of the flaps and tailplane, rotary bomb-door, etc. The S Mk.2 variant introduced more powerful engines, and an export version of this variant was supplied to the South African Air Force as the S Mk 50.

We offer three titles for the Blackburn Buccaneer, covering all models of the Buccaneer in Royal Navy, RAF and SAAF service. Each file has been scanned from the original flight manuals and retains any colour pages. Each title costs US$9.95.
