Laura Harrier Biography

Sort order. Jul 27, Alistair rated it it was ok Shelves: aviation , biographies-military , history , military-history. Before I get into the detail let me be explicit. Is this a ok book? Is it a great book on the Harrier?

As an aviation nut I dived into this book wanting it to be amazing and fantastic. I was sorely disappointed, in many ways. Firstly, the language used throughout the book is overly complex and flowery. At one point it the language became a barrier to reading it was so distr Before I get into the detail let me be explicit.

At one point it the language became a barrier to reading it was so distracting. Additionally, the language is overly flowery in parts of the book. I was expecting wonderfully over the top descriptions of the Harrier in the air, but didn't. The flowery language appeared in unexpected places and added nothing to the historical narrative when it did Secondly, the author clearly loves a good tangent.

In fact, the further the tangent goes - the better! In many places the author took a detour to provide historical insights into the times or specific events. A classic example is Chapter 6. Totally useless. Yet, despite having spent so much time on history of the irrelevant, when it comes to discussing the Strategic Defence and Security Review - which killed off the Harrier from UK service - the author spends 1.

There is no in depth analysis, just a 'we probably won't know what the discussion was so who cares' line thrown in. Clearly the author was more concerned about easily found research than digging for the good stuff.

What else is missing in this book are some of the unique flying work the Harrier undertook. Whilst it briefly covers flying off the UK's carriers, I was left feeling deeply let down at the superficial nature of the discussion. There is not much detail on flying from Ark Royal, what a cruise would entail, how squadrons worked up to a cruise, nor how the squadrons including the maintenance staff were organised whilst underway. Speaking of which, there is no discussion from the maintenance side of the fence at all in the book.

Still, the Harrier deployments to Germany and Belize are only glossed over, which is a disappointment as these are wonderfully interesting and have generated many fun stories. My only advice is, if you want to read about flying the Harrier - including Germany and Belize - then read Flying Freestyle by Jerry Pook.

Harrier by Jonathan Glancey, review - Telegraph

Much better written, and contains more on the Harrier's flying than this book does! Having said all of that, this book covers the transition from Harrier to FB very well. Overall, if you are interested in the Harrier it is worth reading for the technical history, however if you want to learn about how the aircraft flew - both the good and bad parts - this book is not worth troubling with. Overall I have to say a deep disappointment as I was expecting so much more from this book.

Remarkable journey of an amazing aircraft. Fortunate to have seen one close up, rise, tilt up vertical and shoot into the clouds. A thundering body filling event that brought me to overwhelming emotion for its sheer power terror and grace. The book even though filled with model names galore, weaves history into the Harriers life.

I really enjoyed it. I seem so positive in all my reviews.

It's a really entertaining read; though it, like the Harrier it talks about, is heavily affected by the politics. If you're a big fan of Maggie Thatcher, or most politicians really, it might not be for you. For a 'biography' there feels like a lot missing, the development has so much information yet the actual usage and operational life of the jet seems to have so little to it in comparison.

A bit like if you read about the childhood and teenage years of some I seem so positive in all my reviews.

Investigators looking into the crash of a Harrier flown by 1st Lt. The investigation cited "pilot error in judgment" as the cause of the crash at the Naval Air Station in Fallon, Nev. Firstly, the language used throughout the book is overly complex and flowery. Though he planned to enter law school after college, Dougherty instead joined the Marines and fought in Vietnam, said his sister, May Shull. Investigators blamed the accident on a small, undetected fracture in the acrylic canopy that gave way under the pressure of flight.

Hardback with dust jacket, no damage, general shelf wear, internally clean. Very good condition.

Laura Harrier Biography

The most valuable lessons often come more subtly, only able to be gleaned from quiet and focused observation -- by those hungry to learn. He achieves on such a high level, and you see that the people who work for him are just as passionate. The actress is cognizant of the power her job brings and how inextricably linked with certain responsibility it is -- how much her own story can resonate beyond her.

A supportive family helps keep things in perspective, as do her best friends, the ones she made back in high school. But developing solid friendships within the business has given Laura a different kind of support. Going through this experience with them makes it more comfortable and also just more fun.
