Earlier this week I stumbled upon "Classic British Jets: Lightning" tucked away in the depths of Prime (Amazon). A very interesting hour covering everything from the 1942/43 period of design advances, compressibility issues, control problems in general before moving onto the P1 Lighning and subsequent developments. Includes interviews with Roly Beaumont, 'Winkle' Brown and various OC's of 74 Sqn (which features heavily). A fascinating look-back, not just at the Lightning but the beginnings of supersonic flight. Extensive footage of the Lightning in various marks and roles.
