THE FASCINATING AND UNEXPECTED STORY OF THE ICONIC HARRIER JUMP JET, AND THE BRITISH ENGINEER WHO BUILT IT'Fascinating, insightful and revealing' - JOHN NICHOL, bestselling author of Spitfire and Blitz'An extraordinary history of a British icon . . . unputdownable' NICK COOK, bestselling author of The Hunt for Zero Point'This is not, definitely not, just another book on the Harrier . the major characters involved take centre stage . an entertainingly good read' AEROPLANE MONTHLY'An engineering marvel . . . a flying machine that seems to defy logic. . . Michael Pryce reveals how, while rival jump jet designers pinned their hopes on data and analysis, and failed, the brilliance of the Harrier was born of human ingenuity, creativity and intuition.
