This beautiful Duke Hawkins photo book extensively presents the BAE Systems Harrier II and Boeing AV-8B, in service with the Royal Air Force and US Marine Corps plus the Italian and Spanish Navies.

The series "Aircraft in Detail" arose from the collaboration between pilots, aircraft technicians and modellers. This volume (No. 11) on the BAE Harrier II and Boeing AV-8B is illustrated with over 400 very high quality color photographs, most of which have never been published before.

The British Aerospace Hawk: A Photographic Tribute

Through a collection of dramatic and informative photographs, supplemented by cutaway illustrations, this book, the first in a mini series of three, highlights the agility and flexibility of this dedicated RAF and RN trainer.

With the T1 and T1A versions soon to be retired from UK service (eventually to be replaced by the BAE Systems Hawk T2) this book looks set to represent a fitting tribute to the type, flown by all fast jet pilots since its introduction into service in late 1976.
In order to set the scene for the future training needs of fast jet pilots, photographs of T2 aircraft are included.

The book includes photographs by the author and a select number of other amateur photographers, with the vast majority of photographs - never previously published - taken low level around the hills and mountains of England, Scotland and Wales. This impressive new photographic publication is presented in full colour.
