Its failure seemed inconceivable.But that's not the real story of the Harrier.From its inception, it faced an uncertain future. Designed to survive a nuclear war, it barely survived government cuts. And in an era of big, supersonic, fighters, the little jump jet was too often dismissed as a novelty.The Harrier's designer, Ralph Hooper, knew that the naysayers were as wrong as the digital data that failed to produce a working rival to his little jump jet.

And, from day one, was nurtured by American confidence in his unique creation.Rich with revelatory detail, Jump Jet tells the inspiring story of the Harrier's unlikely triumph, but also reveals for the first time the inside story of Ralph Hooper's revolutionary design for the Harrier's successor. And uncovers how Hooper, discarded at home by the company whose reputation he helped cement, was called back to save the day when America's own troubled jump jet was on life support.This is the real story of a British flying legend, and of the man who made it.
