Harrier Boys Volume One
Author: Bob Marston
Format: Paperback
In Harrier Boys, Volume One: Cold War Through the Falklands, 1969-1990, Bob Marston, who flew Harriers for many years, draws together accounts from others who worked with this unique jet through its history. The excitement, camaraderie and pride of Harrier operators shine through in the personal stories of those whose lives were changed by their experience of this iconic aircraft, both on land and at sea.
In this first volume, events of the Cold War years are brought to life by contributors including Graham Williams, who flew the Transatlantic Air Race, Peter Dodworth, a member of the original Harrier Conversion Team, Peter Harris, a participant in the early defence of Belize, Sir Peter Squire, OC 1 (F) Squadron during the Falklands conflict, and Australian Dave Baddams, who commanded the Royal Navy Sea Harriers of 800 Squadron.
“It’s a cracking good read evoking a feeling for the reader of being firmly in the cockpit or sitting in a damp German ‘hide’ with a ‘feel’ for the excitement and camaraderie. Highly recommended.” — Andrew Thomas
“Vastly entertaining stuff.” — The Aviation Historian
“It is thoroughly recommended both as an authoritative historic record for the academic, and for the Harrier men a nostalgic canter through the pioneering years of the Bona Jet and its people.” — RAF Historical Society
“Highly recommended to all ‘Hawker people’.” — Hawker Association
