Opis

The story of the Harrier's gestation is one of sheer determination, a certain amount of common sense and a large helping of inspiration. Over 40 years after its introduction into service, the Harrier remains the world's only successful V/STOL (vertical/short take-off and landing) aircraft.

Recenzje

A wonderfully entertaining book, a rich mixture of science, social history and politics written with the verve, expertise and infectious enthusiasm we have come to expect from Glancey. Unlike the politicians and the MoD, this man knows what he is doing. Patrick Bishop Sunday Telegraph
