The little book of a big plane. The 'Jump-jet' was the world's first vertical/short take-off and landing (VSTOL) operational jet aircraft.
Here, vividly told, is the fascinating story from tentative hovering by the Hawker P1127 in 1960 to the Harrier GR9 and AV-8B warplanes. A naval version, the Sea Harrier, entered service with the Royal Navy in 1979 and saw action in the Falklands War in 1982. Harriers also saw combat over Kosovo, Bosnia and Iraq.
This competitively priced, full colour hardback is packed with clear and accessible information.
