The book, Avro Aircraft Since 1908 represents a comprehensive review of the whole output of Avro Aircraft from 1908 up through the mid 1960s.  Thorough research has enabled the author of “Avro Aircraft Since 1908” to present one of the most complete histories of A.V Roe’s early aircraft ever written.  This book describes in exhaustive detail all Avro civilian and military aircraft from the rotary engine, two-seat 500 of 1912 to the turbine-powered Avro 748 transport of 1963.  “Avro Aircraft Since 1908” also covers aircraft manufactured by Avro Canada and includes an appendix with complete data on many Avro designs never constructed.  All known variants of the legendary Avro 504 trainer of World War I along with “joyriding” Avro 504 Ks from around the world are reviewed in detail.  Little-known civil and military prototypes tested in the 1920s are followed by the Avro-built Cierva autogiros, Fokker licensed Tens, Fives and Sixes, the Tutor and its many derivatives, the Anson, immortal Lancaster of World War II fame and the modern cold war Vulcan delta-wing V strategic jet bomber.  Each of the aircraft types covered in “Avro Aircraft Since 1908” has a specifications and data table that includes the following information: 1) Construction; 2) Power plants; 3) Dimensions; 4) Weights; 5) Performance and 6) Production.  The major sections and aircraft review in “Avro Aircraft Since 1908” are as follows: 1) Foreword; 2) Roe I biplane; 3) Roe I triplane; 4) Roe II triplane; 5) Roe III triplane; 6) Roe IV triplane; 7) Avro Type D; 8) Avro Curtiss-type; 9) The Duigan biplane; 10) Avro 500 (Type E); 11) The Burga monoplane; 12) Avro Type F; 13) Avro Type G; 14) Avro 501 and Avro 503 (Type H); 15) Avro 504 and Avro 504 H; 16) Avro 508; 17) Avro 510; 18) Avro 511; 19) Avro 519; 20) Avro 521; 21) Avro 523 Pike; 22) Avro 504 J and Avro 504 K; 23) Avro 527 and Avro 528; 24) Avro 529; 25) Avro 530; 26) Avro 531 Spider; 27) Avro 533 Manchester; 28) Avro 504 K (civil); 29) Avro 504 K (overseas); 30) Avro 504 L; 31) Avro 504 M; 32) Avro 534 Baby; 33) Avro 536; 34) Avro 539; 35) Avro 547; 36) Avro 548; 37) Avro 549 Aldershot; 38) Avro 552; 39) Avro 504 N; 40) Avro 504 K Mk.
