Review:
A wonderfully entertaining book, a rich mixture of science, social history and politics written with the verve, expertise and infectious enthusiasm we have come to expect from Glancey. Unlike the politicians and the MoD, this man knows what he is doing. Author: Patrick Bishop Source: Sunday Telegraph
Takes you on a vivid tour through the history of the aircraft and the men and women who created and flew it. Source: Daily Express
Honestly and passionately told, this is a powerful tribute to the ingenuity of the Harrier's creators and the courage and skill of those who flew it Source: Good Book Guide
