There is an excellent book about XM607/ Operation black buck written by Rowland White. It’s not just about the actual mission it’s also about retiring the Vulcan then bringing them back and all the other bit that led up to the mission.

If you have even a passing interest in aviation then this book is a must read. Very deep, yet incredibly compelling. I kept finding myself on edge...
