The Société Européenne de Production de l’avion École de Combat et d’Appui Tactique (SEPECAT) Jaguar and Hawker Siddeley Harrier played critical ground-attack and tactical reconnaissance roles, including in the latter stages of the Cold War. The Jaguar came into service with the RAF in 1974 and flew with eight operational squadrons and an Operational Conversion Unit before finally being retired in 2007. The unique Harrier entered service with the RAF in 1969.It flew operationally with four squadrons, as well as being deployed in Belize and the Falkland Islands and with an Operational Conversion Unit. The second-generation Harrier was prematurely retired in 2011. With over 180 photographs, both black and white and color, this book, the third in a series on British combat aircraft of the 1970s and ’80s, is an essential addition to the libraries of those who flew or worked on these aircraft, aviation historians and enthusiasts, and modelers alike.
