Sea
Harrier and AV-8B by Robert Jackson |

Description:
This
book concerns itself with the naval variants of the Harrier
– the British Sea Harrier, US AV-16 and AV-8 and
the Spanish Matador. It provides an insight into how technology
has provided this aircraft with a wide variety of roles.
The Royal Navy produced the Sea Harrier which was to be
a highly successful naval weapon which went onto be lethal
in combat with its success in the Falklands War. It is
a fascinating account of one of the world’s once
dominant warplanes of its time.
