HARRIER: THE BIOGRAPHY (PB)

A revolutionary fighter plane with the ability to take off and land vertically, the Harrier played an indispensable role for the RAF and Royal Navy in a number of conflicts, most famously the Falklands War. Jonathan Glancey's biography is a vividly enjoyable account of the invention of this remarkable aeroplane and a fitting tribute to the inspiration and determination of the men and women who created it, and the bravery of the pilots who flew it, often in the most dangerous conditions.
