Bog beskrivelse
Harrier tells the story of the unique development of a practical V/STOL combat concept, from its first outrigger constrained hover to a very versatile ground-attack aircraft that could deliver multiple precision weapons in close support of ground troops, as well as air defense of naval assets. When first flown, the aircraft could barely carry enough fuel for more than a few minutes of hovering, but with the later US Marine Corps AV-8B Plus and RAF GR.9s, it could deliver over two tons of ordnance with great accuracy, day and night, in all weather conditions. The story of this aircraft, which introduced a whole new concept to air combat, covers the development of the V/STOL system into a practical asset, as well as its operational service in regional conflicts with both the USMC and RAF in Europe and the Middle East. It was also the Allied key aircraft in the Falklands Campaign with both RAF Harriers and FAA Sea Harriers. Harriers also served with the Indian, Spanish, and Italian navies. Harrier is illustrated with over 400 images, many of which are previously unpublished color and black and white photos, taken from the author’s collection.
