Description
The dramatic concept of vertical/short take-off and landing is the biggest breakthrough in military aviation since the jet engine itself. And the Harrier is the aircraft which has done it.
The jump jet with its unique swivelling nozzles is virtually unbeatable in aerial dogfight. It has dramatically re-written the concepts of battlefield air support. At sea it signals the end of the large conventional carrier.
Here for the first time is the complete story of this revolutionary aircraft, in lively prose, profusely illustrated with charts and photographs, and written with the full co-operation of the manufacturers.
