harrier

 

Stewart wilson

A truly revolutionary combat aircraft, the Harrier was the world's first practical V /STOL fixed wing aircraft, its ground breaking design later backed up by a proven combat record as both a fighter and attack aircraft in the Falklands, the Gulf War and elsewhere. In Falklands air-to-air combat, Royal Navy Sea Harriers scored a remarkable 23 kills for no losses.

After a difficult birth and at times uncertain development, the Harrier finally found a niche operating from both dry land and ships. Championed by the US Marine Corps (its largest customer), the Harrier became a largely American product in its second generation and remains an important element in the air arms of six nations.

The Aviation Notebook Series is intended to provide a compact yet detailed reference source on the civil and military aircraft which have helped shape the history of aviation.

The series highlights development of the aircraft, a model-by-model guide to its variants (including upgrades and conversions), technical and performance data, serial numbers, operators and more .

The text is supported by over 50 colour photographs (where available) and new colour profiles.
