Display
Pilot
Lea.
An excellent book with many great color photos. Harrier demonstration
pilot Rob Lea writes a journal of his RAF pilot training, his selection
to be a display pilot, and then a detailed description of his first
season flying air show in the unique vertical takeoff / landing Harrier
attack jet. The balance between text and photos is very good (half
and half). The last third of the book involves demo pilots for many
other RAF aircraft and what it's like to perform in them at air shows. Highly
recommended for fans of the Harrier, the Royal Air Force, air shows,
or just military jets in general.

Air
War in the Falklands 1982
Combat Aircraft Vol. 28
Christopher Chant.
The war fought between the U.K. and Argentina in 1982 for the
possession of the Falkland Islands was probably the last "colonial" war
that will ever be undertaken by the British. This book shows how
the key to British success was the speed with which they gained and
then maintained air superiority over the islands and the waters around
them, primarily with their small force of Sea Harrier STOVL warplanes.
96 pgs., 85 B&W and 20 color photos, 16 color profiles, 7¼"x
9¾", sfbd.
