Undoubtedly one of the most important aircraft in aviation history, the Hawker Siddeley Harrier GR.1 was developed from the Hawker P.1127 experimental aircraft, designed to test the capabilities of V/STOL vector thrust flight, the transition from hover to Forward flight and back to hover.
The prospect of a viable V/STOL aircraft proved of great interest to both the British and US military, which funded further development of the aircraft. The new 'Jump Jet' was an instant hit with the British public, who marveled at the ingenuity of their aviation industry, once again the envy of the world.
Harriers are not limited to operating out of military airfields, but could be hidden in forest clearings or scattered along stretches of highway or even schoolyards to hide their location from the enemy.
