The books throws new light on the English Electric "Lightning" project focusing on the procurement process and the factors that drove decisions about the aircraft configuration and its weapon system.
In particular, author Tony Wilson looks at how other procurement programs influenced choices about the Lightning for good or ill.
Between English Electric project numbers P1 and P34 there were 15 project numbers between P1 and P34 associated with the Lightning. Some refer to development steps in the aircrafts core program but others were studies to extend the aircrafts capabilities. These designs are explored too along with proposed developments that were never given "P" numbers.
