Reviews

[Robert Hepple · Rating 4 out of 5]

Published in 1982, 'Hawker Hunter' is number 15 in the 'Modern Combat Aircraft' series by Ian Allan. The development and operational history of the Hunter up to the date of publication is well covered, despite the small size of the book and is well supported by over 140 well captioned photos. Of course the fine detail is a little skimpy in places, but really you need a much thicker book on the subject to put that right. On its own terms, it is very good and a great read.
