SUPER DECALS FOR 3 VERSIONS – COLOR INSTRUCTIONS SHEET

The Harrier is probably the most famous aircraft
with vertical/short takeoff and landing capabilities in military History. It
was designed and developed by the British manufacturer Hawker Siddeley in the
sixties. Thanks to its single Pegasus turbofan engine and the adoption of four
vertical nozzles for directing the thrust generated, the Harrier immediately
obtained success. Widely used by the British Royal Air Force, the Harrier Gr. 1
is also known to have won a race competition. It participated to the Daily Mail
Trans-Atlantic Air Race between London and New York held in May 1969 to
commemorate the 50th Anniversary of the first trans-Atlantic crossing.
The Harrier Gr 1 traveled the distance between the Post Office Tower in
London and the Empire State Building in New York scoring the best overall time.
