Harrier Boys - Vol 2

Bob Marston

New Technology, New Threats, New Tactics 1990 - 2010. In this second volume of Harrier Boys, as with the first, the history of this remarkable aircraft in service with the UK armed forces is illustrated through personal reminiscences of the people that worked with it. The book covers the second generation of the Harrier, starting for the RAF with the GR5, and the integration of RAF and RN assets before and after the phasing-out of the Sea Harrier. Vivid accounts of action in Iraq, the Balkans, Sierra Leone and Afghanistan show how the end of the Cold War coincided with a considerable increase in demand for the Harrier's capabilities elsewhere in the world.
