Description
The Harrier: A Revolutionary Aircraft Jonathan Glancey's biography tells the story of the Harrier, a pioneering aircraft that combined fighter plane technology with helicopter capabilities. Its vertical take-off-and-landing ability made it an indispensable asset for the RAF and Royal Navy in conflicts such as the Falklands War. This account is a fitting tribute to the inspiration and determination of those who created the Harrier, and the bravery of its pilots, who often flew in the most challenging conditions. The book provides a vivid and engaging narrative that explores the invention and development of this remarkable aircraft. With 304 pages, this paperback edition offers a comprehensive look at the Harrier's history and significance.
