This first in a line of new monographs focuses on the de Havilland Sea Vixen FAW 1 and FAW 2. The Sea Vixen represents the zenith of British twin boom jet fighter design. This all weather carrier borne aircraft was the first British fighter to be designed from the outset without guns. Armed with rockets and missiles, the Sea Vixen, with its integrated weapons system, transitioned the Royal navy into the era of modern fighter aircraft.
