Five Stars Great photo history.. Farewell to the Sea Jet L. Scott Mcgowin This is a great profile of the famous BAe Sea Harrier that gives insights into the entire life span of the "SHAR."Interspersed with technical descriptions, engineer, and pilot remembrances, Jamie Hunter has also included many of his outstanding air-to-air photographs of the Sea Harrier.It is the ultimate irony that the Sea Harrier, who's birth came about from the results of flawed idiotic political policy was also consigned to an entirely too soon . One-Stop Book for the Sea harrier! This is an excellent overview of the Sea Harrier program, and tells the history of the machine from the early-Sixties to its current service demise.

My personal book of the year so far!
