JUMP JET , THE REVOLUTIONARY V/STOL FIGHTER

BY

BRUCE MYLES

PUBLISHED ; BRASSEY'S DEFENCE PUB

2ND EDT 1986

The dramatic concept of vertical/short takeoff and landing is the  biggest breakthrough in military aviation since the jet engine.  This revised edition brings the story of the Harrier, the finest  combat aircraft in the world, firmly into the eighties.  

Opinions on the First Edition  ‘As a professional TV reporter and student of aviation (Bruce  Myles) knows how to assemble a compelling text. The result is a  book which no aviation enthusiast can possibly miss and which  few general readers will be able to put down.’  Lloyd's List  ‘

An extremely interesting and enjoyable book that is bound to  find its way on to many shelves.’ I  RUSI Journal  ‘. . . excellent It is an absorbing and fascinating story that will  appeal to everybody as the book has been carefully thought out  and researched with the assistance of designers, test pilots and  users alike.’ 

 British Aerospace News  ‘It makes a most enjoyable read and explains many concepts of  the aircraft and its operations. For anyone with a remote interest  in the Harrier or its contemporaries, this is probably the  definitive story to date.’  Defence   a successful mixture of insight, knowledge and  straightforward, intelligent writing.’  RAAF News
