The McDonnell Douglas AV-8B Harrier IIvertical/short takeoff and
landing (VSTOL)is the US Marine Corps current frontline
close-air-support aircraft. A variant of the famed British
Aerospace Harrier II, the AV-8B is noted for its ability to hover
in place, ideal for operating on smaller carriers and in
less-than-ideal landing zones. This book provides a concise
overview of VSTOL capabilities and the development of the Harrier
jump jet in the UK, followed by the use of this aircraft by the US
Marine Corps. USMC Harrier II units first combat missions were
during Operation Desert Storm in 1991, followed by extensive
deployments in eastern Europe, Iraq, and Afghanistan.
