The Bristol Blenheim A Complete History

First published in 2002 to enormous critical acclaim The Bristol Blenheim draws on Graham Warner's unparalleled knowledge of this remarkable aircraft. A former Blenheim owner, Graham has fully updated and revised over 700 entries with recently unearthed information from both the Air Historical Branch of the Ministry of Defence and many private sources to provide a truly comprehensive account of the Blenheim's origins, development and operational history.

An exhaustively researched narrative backed up by over 400 photographs and illustrations detail the aircraft's roles not just in the European and Far Eastern Theatres of War, the Middle East campaigns in the Western Desert and from Malta, but also the lesser-known air operations in Iraq, Syria and East Africa. The Blenheim's wide-ranging operational career as a day and night bomber, a low-level attack aircraft, night fighter, long-range day fighter, reconnaissance and training machine are examined in depth. A section of colour profiles highlight many of the aircraft's variants and liveries.
