Halifax Book

[Herod]

I've just finished Leo McKinstry's book on the Lancaster. Does anyone know of an available book giving the history of the Halifax?

Have a look at the link below, I hav'nt read it but it has been well reviewed.

Handley Page Halifax: From Hell to Victory and Beyond (Hardcover)
by K. A. Merrick

Handley Page Halifax: From Hell to Victory and Beyond: Amazon.co.uk: K. A. Merrick: Books (http://www.amazon.co.uk/Handley-Page-Halifax-Victory-Beyond/dp/1906537062/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1268425128&sr=1-1)

[Old-Duffer]

I can confirm Merrick's book is absolutely first class.

If you want a book dealing with the lesser known use of the Halifax on special duties operations, try "Flights of the Forgotten" by Merrick. This deals with SD operations in total but has a big chunk about the Halibag.

Another good technical book with construction diagrams is "Halifax second to none" by Victor Bingham ,Airlife 1986. :ok:
