Product Description

--This is a special feature of the US Marine Corps Harrier, the third Harrier series following the No. 191 Sea Harrier and the No. 194 RAF Harrier.
--The Marine Corps paid attention to the Harrier, which was about to be put into practical use in the United Kingdom, and decided to introduce it as a close air support aircraft, and adopted it as the official name AV-8A.
――As in the United Kingdom, this machine, nicknamed Harrier, will be mounted on an amphibious ship according to the mission of the Marine Corps, and will have a good track record in operation as a carrier-based aircraft.
――The Harrier, which is flexible in terms of operations and easy to use, has been highly evaluated by the Marine Corps leaders.
――Therefore, the AV-8B Harrier II was introduced after an update to the next-generation model with improved capabilities.
――A major feature is the replacement of the engine with a bubble canopy to ensure the pilot's visibility all around, and later refurbishment equipped the nose with radar.
――In this issue, we will explain the development process and operation of these USMC Harriers, on-board systems, etc. with detailed articles and abundant photographs and illustrations.
――Please look forward to it.
