Book: Janusz Zurakowski, legend of the skies.
by Bill Zuk, with Janusz Zurakowski
Arn't politics a bitch, read up on the history of the Arrow.
There is lots of reference to films and such, but some of it is in Polish.

HSnort,

Afraid I can't get the links to produce a video. I remember Canberra crewroom discussions as to whether a PR9 would do it; I thought about it in a B2 but settled for a stall turn.

Wasn't Zurakowski's aircraft a flying testbed for re-heat Avon's. I heard that he discovered the manoeuvre whilst investigating (at a safe height) what would happen if he lost re-heat on one during a rotational take-off?

Regards,
