Bob Marston, who flew Harriers for many years, brings together the accounts of other pilots who have worked with this unique jet throughout history. The enthusiasm, camaraderie and pride of Harrier pilots is evident in the personal stories of those whose lives have been transformed by their experiences with this legendary aircraft, both on land and at sea. In this first volume, the 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, who took part in the early defence of Belize, Sir Peter Squire, OC 1 (F) Squadron during the Falklands conflict, and Australian Dave Baddams, who commanded the Sea Harriers of the Royal Navy's 800 Squadron. The exceptional performance of this aircraft is evident throughout, as is its well-known long service life with the RAF and internationally.
