Harrier

The Hawker Harrier is one of the most well-known and distinctive military aircraft produced in the last fifty years. This title is a comprehensive study of the aircraft's history, tracing the development and service deployment of this unique warplane, including coverage of combat operations, service with the U.S. Marines, and a firsthand detailed account of present-day Harrier operations as seen from the cockpit. In addition to informative detail and descriptions, the volume will be bundled with a variety of rare and unseen photographs, technical line drawings, and color artwork profiles. Some of the areas covered include manufacture of the prototype, service coverage of the production of the first Harrier GR1 variants, an introduction into RAF service at Wittering, a look at the background, design, and development of the Sea Harrier manufactured for the Royal Navy. This book will also include a detailed step-by-step description of a representative Harrier mission combined with from-the-cockpit photography.
