Harrier Super Profile
$54.00
Generally known as the “jump jet”, the Harrier uses the unique properties of ‘four-poster’ vectoring-thrust technology for short or vertical take-offs and landings. Thus it is not dependent on the runways that would be among the first casualties of a major war. Yet this British invention, developed from a French idea with American money, long remained little more than a toy. The Harrier was slowly proved in British and American service, and the Falklands campaign of 1982 showed how capable and essential this type really is. This is a superbly illustrated account of the Harrier.

Mustang: A Living Legend
Mustang: A living Legend concerns itself with Mustangs that are still with us - aircraft that have withstood the difficult test of time to remind us of an age well past. To restore and fly a vintage fighter in the 1980s requires not only skill but a considerable outlay of cash. Once surplussed for a few hundred or few thousand dollars, Mustangs are now in demand by collectors and are rapidly approaching the $500,000-mark in value. Around 100 Mustangs currently fly and more restorations are underway as hulks deemed fit for scrap only a few years ago are brought back to life. A few years from now, we will probably be seeing Mustang restoration with as much as 75 per cent of the air-frame built from replica parts - such is the demand.
