The ‘Jump-jet’ was the world’s first vertical/short take-off and landing (VSTOL) operational jet aircraft (VSTOL). Developed using the revolutionary Pegasus engine, the Harrier has served the RAF and US Marine Corps well for over 30 years. Here, vividly told, is the fascinating story from tentative hovering by the Hawker P1127 in 1960 to today’s frontline Harrier GR9 and AV-8B warplanes. A naval version, the Sea Harrier, entered service with the Royal Navy in 1979. Alongside the RAF Harrier it saw action in the Falklands War in 1982. More recently, Harriers have seen combat over Kosovo, Bosnia and Iraq. In the USA, a license-built version (the AV8-A/B) equips the US Marine Corps and is in service today in Iraq. Harriers also equip air forces in Spain and Thailand. This competitively priced, full color hardback is packed with clear and accessible information and is the latest in a series including The Concorde Story and The Spitfire Story.

Free Download Dr Julian E.H. Mustoe, "Voyage of the Harrier: Around the World in the Track of HMS Beagle"
English | 2010 | pages: 290 | ISBN: 151510589X | EPUB | 15,6 mb
Voyage of the Harrier is the story of two interlinked circumnavigations under sail. For Charles Darwin the voyage of the Beagle was a young man making his engagement with the world, and it lead to the Darwinian revolution in our view of nature and ourselves. For Julian Mustoe the voyage of the Harrier in the track of the Beagle was his retirement project. He survived stormy weather, a dismasting, shipwreck, attack by smugglers, a broken love affair in Chile, solitude at sea and the effects of ageing. Darwin voyaged to discover his world, Mustoe sailed to realize himself. The accounts in the book of the two voyages serve to illuminate one another and to bring both to life.

In Harrier Boys Volume One: Cold War Through the Falklands, 1969-1990, Bob Marston, who flew Harriers for many years, draws together accounts from others who worked with this unique jet through its history.

In this first volume, events of the Cold War years are brought to life by contributors including Graham Williams, who flew the Transatlantic Air Race, Peter Dodworth, a member of the original Harrier Conversion Team, Peter Harris, a participant in the early defense of Belize, Sir Peter Squire, OC 1 (F) Squadron during the Falklands conflict, and Australian Dave Baddams, who commanded the Royal Navy Sea Harriers of 800 Squadron.
