HAWKER HUNTER

A comprehensive reference work and authoritative history. It covers the origins if the Hunter from the P1040 and P1052 swept-wing aircraft and moves through its design and development including the twin-seat dual-control T7 to the 'ultimate' Mk 9. The aircraft's varied operating successes are noted with particular emphasis on major foreign users in Switzerland and India and exports to countries such as Oman and Chile. Extracts from the original aircrew manual and appendices covering service histories, serial numbers and the fate of each aircraft combine to provide full details of this Cold War warrior. With twelve pages of colour profiles, diagrams, 266 black-and-white photos and four pages of 1:72 scale plans.
