PRE-ORDER THE FASCINATING AND UNEXPECTED STORY OF THE ICONIC HARRIER JUMP JET, AND THE BRITISH ENGINEER WHO BUILT IT

Victory in the Falklands War made the Harrierâ€TMs name as a world-beating British icon, as capable of giving the enemy a bloody nose as it was of thrilling the crowds at airshows with its thunderous aerial ballet. Its failure seemed inconceivable.

But thatâ€TMs not the real story of the Harrier.

From its inception, it faced an uncertain future. Designed to survive a nuclear war, it barely survived government cuts. And in an era of big, supersonic, fighters, the little jump jet was too often dismissed as a novelty.

The Harrierâ€TMs designer, Ralph Hooper, knew that the naysayers were as wrong as the digital data that failed to produce a working rival to his little jump jet. He saw what the computers could not. Hooperâ€TMs masterpiece was born of instinct and feel. And, from day one, was nurtured by American confidence in his unique creation.

Rich with revelatory detail, Jump Jet tells the inspiring story of the Harrierâ€TMs unlikely triumph, but also reveals for the first time the inside story of Ralph Hooperâ€TMs revolutionary design for the Harrierâ€TMs successor. And uncovers how Hooper, discarded at home by the company whose reputation he helped cement, was called back to save the day when Americaâ€TMs own troubled jump jet was on life support.

This is the real story of a British flying legend, and of the man who made it.
