The most successful British jet fighter produced was without doubt the sleek and graceful Hawker Hunter. As usual for every new aircraft type it had its share of teething problems, but once these were all adequately solved the U.K. had at that time one of the best jet fighters available. It was built in large numbers and exported to many countries. This book presents an overview of the development and operational use of the ‘Hawker Hunter’ jet with many photos and illustrations.
